The reason I can prefer bitcoin is because there are many ways I can protect the coins in ways that no one on earth can steal my coins from me. Some people can make mistakes but if you have the right knowledge about how to protect your coins, no one will be able to hack it. And the security would be of low cost. Unlike physical assets that would be of high cost.
I agree with you on this sir and I think aside from the freedom aspect of the decentralized system of bitcoin we look at, the financial security of the blockchain technology is one thing we must equally appreciate. Where the problems lie most of the times is many of users do not have right information on how they can secure their digital assets and end up losing up funds unnecessarily.
There are some physical assets that are worth it. No one can steal your house if you have the legal backup. Also are real estates and land. But that is if you go the right way and have the legit property papers. There are physical properties that can not be stolen.
Even the real estate and land business kind of have its own risk. Many people end up investing on properties that are government owned or encroachment and since some don't have the much information to do so. However, as far as investment is concerned, properties is one of the least risky. In a country where things are more documented and straightforward, such kind of issues would have been mitigated.
