Bitcoin is easy to store and carry around. You simply need to remember your 12-word wallet phrase and store large amounts of Bitcoin. Bitcoin has the advantage of profitability. It's decentralized, like a bank with only you in control. Gold, on the other hand, isn't easy to store in large amounts; criminals can easily steal your gold. But that doesn't mean gold is bad. It remains a leading investment asset today as a safe haven. Both assets have their own value, and investing in both is much better.

I think you mean Bitcoin is portable, whereas Gold is not. That's one of the key advantages of Bitcoin. You can store it within the smallest medium possible, hidden in plain sight. Millions, if not, billions of dollars can be moved anywhere in a safe and discreet way. You can't do that with Gold. Carrying bulky bars and/or Gold coins will bring unwanted attention.

Not only Bitcoin is portable, but its supply is predictable too. No one knows how much Gold is in existence, but everybody knows there will only be 21m Bitcoins. This predictability should make BTC even scarcer and more desirable than Gold. With "Wall Street" quickly flocking to Bitcoin, you can see what the craze is all about. I'd keep buying BTC regardless of price to build true, generational wealth.
