After reading a lot of posts made by people on this forum, I realized about 75% of them see Bitcoin as a digital Gold. For me, I don't think Bitcoin is a digital gold. Cryptocurrency or Bitcoin to be precise, was developed to be a safer option for transaction of goods and services and also the best mode of payment. Bitcoin was introduced to disable all the restrictions that banks and the financial system presented. A lot of people have lost huge sums of money because they saw bitcoin as a digital gold. I know others will argue that bitcoin has also made people rich but for me, I don't think it is advisable to consider Bitcoin as a digital gold. Bitcoin is a digital currency.
I agree with you in a way, but I also agree with the 75% of the people that see Bitcoin as digital gold. the worth of gold doesn't vary a lot from time to time, its quite stable, so you can't really invest in gold just the same as you could in Bitcoin.
Although a lot of people invest money in Bitcoins to make a profit, there are also a lot of people that buy bitcoin to pay with it without the govenment knowing about it but there is a big risk in that because Bitcoin is quite unstable, for example the value of bitcoin went up about $700 in just 2 hours.
The world is evolving, a lot of the things are going digital just like maybe gold.
