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?
As I have explained, I don't see that the bitcoins are really more easy for use than the gold.
The more I think about it the more I get confused what might be the main reason. Well, how easily people can get their hands on Gold, without anyone noticing might be the reason. You can stay at home, buy bitcoin and store it, without a third party getting involved. While its different when it comes to Gold. You have to get it from a trusted third party, so it lacks privacy.
