Gold off course. Don't you like that shiny metal. For jewelry, an assets and even as a trading assets. It is far more popular then any other asset. Bitcoin is still new unlike gold that has existed for a millenium.
That's too old shool for me,
gold is not vital to our daily living while bitcoin can provide a lot of benefits to the users. I think people now should value what gives them convenience and helpful for the development of financial system than just a mere shiny thing
Some folks strongly disagree with this attitude
If your point hinges on the possibility of quickly converting your bitcoins to fiat and then spending fiat for your daily needs (as another option, you could use a Bitcoin payment card, and in that case the conversion is done for you by someone else). Though, as I said, some people will certainly challenge that point by claiming they can easily sell their gold at market rates as fast. But if you don't mean that or anything to that tune, then I don't see how Bitcoin is more vital than gold for "our daily living"
I agree with you. I can take my gold and silver to my local coin shop and sell it for cash on the spot. In fact, I have done that several times in the past before I was as financially well off as I am now. Now, sure someone can also convert their BTC to some fiat currency. But then, how long do they have to wait before that fiat currency is in their bank account? It varies, but it is not instantaneous, that's for sure
In fact, you can convert bitcoins to fiat instantly
And get the money to your payment card balance as fast (within a few minutes, at most). But this is not a given, of course (read it may fail when you are desperate for ready money). On the other hand, it is not a given either that your dealer, I mean, precious metals dealer won't close his shop just when you need to convert your coins to fiat fast. So there can be problems with cashing out gold and silver coins as well. The bottom line is that you should always have some cash on hand in case an emergency should arise
