If so, it is really strange for me, why the people in France do not buy large amounts of gold for storing their money. Maybe it is difficult to buy a micro bar of gold? Or it is difficutl to sell it because you have to prove that your gold is pure?
Could be the reasons but I think that the limits is what setting these people so they couldn't buy as much as they can. Whilst for Bitcoin, we're all free to buy as many as we can as long as we have the budget for that.
As I have explained, I don't see that the bitcoins are really more easy for use than the gold.
To us, it's easier to use Bitcoin if that's the case. You can't use gold to pay for something you've purchased online. Or if you're going to be with P2P markets, you'll need to be in the exact P2P market for gold for you to use it.
