I know what you're trying to say but 99.999% of people do not own antique gold coins, are you saying the same about bitcoin?

Not at all. I suppose that I am just trying to point out that every asset has its pros and cons depending on the situation. The Euros at the bottom of my travel case are just as useful to me as my gold coins at the moment, and the pennies under my couch cushions, though easily more liquid, are much less valuable than either. Bitcoin is obviously far more accessible and convenient than gold, but I just cannot see anyone using it for small transactions... at least while the network fees are as high as they currently are.
