"If you can't touch it, or hold it in your hot little hand, YOU DON'T OWN IT."

Bitcoin is only a number in a machine. 'Paper Gold' is just that, a piece of paper.

Physical Gold is the only store of portable wealth you should bother holding. And 'holding' implies that the gold is not entrusted to anybody else (banks, brokers, safety-deposit boxes, etc) but is held by you personally.
