Oddly funny, that the physical gold and silver buyer's mantra of "if you don't hold it, you don't own it" would apply to BTC.

There are a lot of similarities. I see a lot of pump and dump terminology used in discussions of both topics as well, such as:

If you buy only one single (bitcoin|oz of gold) now, one day you could be rich beyond imagination!

The potential future price of (bicoin|gold) is over $100,000.

There are only xxx (bitcoin|oz of gold) produced per year so it must be scarce and valuable!

I'm in (bitcoin|gold) for the long haul! Buy and hold! Keep on stacking!

The price of (bitcoin|gold) is manipulated downward. Buy now while it's cheap.

The global economy is going to crash soon! Buy (bitcoin|gold) now or you will die when the crash happens!
