You can eat tulips. You can burn bills.

Gold has been used for various things since it was discovered. It's an essential component in many electronics, and if nothing else, it looks nice.

> Bitcoin is all these things too and in fact is a much better store of value than gold.

Bitcoin is none of those things. The moment the Bitcoin network collapses you have nothing but a bunch of random numbers, all of which are absolutely worthless.

Bitcoin has been around less than ten years. Gold has been around for billions. You've got a long way to go to prove Bitcoin can be as durable as gold, which given it's an atomic element, is probably impossible.

I'm not saying that gold is the best store of value, but it's a hell of a lot better than Bitcoin.
