Crypto is a generic term that people use to describe too many shitcoins and centralized bullshit that can't store value.
Have a thread about it here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5084692There is no way for the average person to assess whether a "crypto" is truly decentralized and all these arguments about altcoins having "value" are getting boring.
True value will show over time.
Gold Portability - A bit of reality needs to be applied to this, considering a $40k bar of gold is the size of a smart phone how many of you would struggle transporting your wealth in gold.
Highly divisible - Physical gold can be purchased in grains (not grams) = 0.06g how low do you need to go?
Secure - Gold is secure and cannot be copied, you can can get copy coins that lack the detail of an original or bars that do not have the same dimensions or weight and can be checked with a specific gravity test, acid test or xrf test
Easily transactable - Exactly the same as bitcoin, check out Glint which links a mastercard to allocated gold holdings
Scarce - All the gold ever mined through history will fit in 1 olympic swimming pool
Sovereign (government issued) - Ever hear of sovereign coins? Most governments have a state issued gold coin eg. sovereigns, britannias, eagles, krugerrands, pandas etc. etc.
Decentralised - how many people own a piece of gold jewellery, gold dental work, gold components in electronic equipment, a gold coin.
That chart is biased at best but personally I think its straight up incorrect bollocks.
