I wonder if Bitcoin has more utility (potential) compared to gold though?

For example, if you purchase SaaS products with Bitcoin, you don't need to trust that the service provider or their merchant provider will handle your personally identifiable information with care (eg. billing info), because you didn't have to provide the information.

Perhaps there are other utility uses for Bitcoin that will eventually lead to demand based on something more than fear?
