The difference between theft and counterfeiting is a matter for the lawyers.
Both are easy/hard to steal depending on security.
A lot of both is stolen, defrauded, scammed, whatever you like to call it.
Personally? I have had more BTC stolen than gold stolen (I had a bitcoin plus interest with coinlenders and some dust in inputs.io, no one has stolen any of my gold.) I have had physical gold a lot longer (many years) than I have had bitcoins.
It might be insightful to figure out a percentage of people who have had bitcoin scammed/stolen from them.  I imagine it is higher percentage than gold, even when you include people that have lost their wedding ring accidentally, but I don't know.  Just a guess.

We can do a straw poll here since it is a thread probably made of folks with an interest in both or owning both.

lost 10 BTC in bitcoinica, wasn't a big deal at the time...lol

lost all the PMs in a freak boating accident

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.
Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.

my entry into Bitcoin was 1/3 trading, 1/3 mining, and 1/3 Bitcoin investments.

Trading, = I should have just bought and held
Mining = wow, all the money I printed is safe.
Investments = Stolen / scam or very bad performance. (despite Pirate 40 and similar ponzi's been obvious to avoid. )

Blame the victim, but Bitcoin has been a haven for scams, I'll guess even another 30% of legitimate businesses will lose entrusted Bitcoin's and blame it on a hack or something.

Then you might as well include all the scams and theft of US dollars and other currency.  Heck might as well include all credit card fraud.  That's still scammed/stolen isn't it?

Live and learn, 99.9999% of us weren't brought up in the Bitcoin environment, and have to make mistakes, it isn't fun, but I prefer it, i am 100% in control, and not spending is a viable option.
