The big advantage of bitcoin is that it cannot be easily confiscated from you like physical properties like your house, your farm, your car, your gold or fiat money. You can chose between die and giving away, and if you chose to die for your bitcoins, the "thief" cannot take them from you, i.e. he needs to alive to take them from you. This is very different from physical stuff where you can just be killed and your stuff taken, and this whole thing makes a huge difference.

Tell me more about how that works out for you while I drive these nails up under your nail beds.

It would not work for me, I would deliver all probably. But you still have the option Smiley
