As for the 'beauty' part: I honestly find a bitcoin more beautiful than gold. Sure, I'm a math geek and all, but still, I honestly do. There's such an intrinsic beauty in its ingenious cryptographic design and mathematical soundness.. it just keeps astonishing me. Gold certainly doesn't have that.
There's nothing more beautiful since I first read the bitcoin white paper 8 months ago. And I am not even maths or computer geek!
