It might be insightful to figure out a percentage of people who have had bitcoin scammed/stolen from them. I imagine it is higher percentage than gold, even when you include people that have lost their wedding ring accidentally, but I don't know. Just a guess.
We can do a straw poll here since it is a thread probably made of folks with an interest in both or owning both.
Then you might as well include all the scams and theft of US dollars and other currency. Heck might as well include all credit card fraud. That's still scammed/stolen isn't it?
That would be getting off the topic here of Gold and Bitcoin, yes?
I've lost BTC but not AU. (But I also do not wear a wedding band).
I suspect that a lot of folks have lost those, or earrings or watches or other gold jewelry.
I also suspect that about the same percentage of folks or more, that have both, have lost bitcoin.
Scams, accidents, theft, etc.
I'm guessing that there are probably more percentage of folks that have suffered bitcoin scams than gold scams though. (The tungsten issue is what started this line of curiosity)
