You can't send perfectly divisible quantities of gold halfway around the world in seconds. You also can't store gold in your brain and thus move unlimited quantities of gold across national borders undetected. Furthermore, unlike gold, Bitcoin storage and transaction signing needs can and will be satisfied by low-cost dedicated computing units, opening the freedom to store bitcoin to any who wish to use it, and the chance of possessive governments successfully trying to prevent people from doing so is about as likely as governments stamping out smartphone use.

You don't need to "sell" bitcoin to me :) I use it almost daily since 2011-2012 ;)
