Hi everyone, it's crypticat 😸. Today I was left alone with no ankles to bite, so it got me thinking. Bitcoin versus gold. This may be a little biased because as you can see I love gold, it's shiny and pretty. ![IMG_20180306_213343.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSHiL7SywvUfCemii8s5qyPgs5Cxn9tccG9G7LSggYK9j/IMG_20180306_213343.jpg)
There are three clear reasons gold > bitcoin
1. Its Shiny and looks great, from the ancient Egyptians who loved adorning their cats with gold to the modern age where I steal anything shiny and clinky I can carry in my mouth, us cats love gold!
2. It's tangible and unchanging, I can touch it, feel it, look at it and adorn myself in it 😻 gold can't be copied or improved upon without extreme effort kinda like a cat ;)
3. Gold has history, it has been mined since the beginning of modern time, pirates love it, it was formed from the stars and everyone loves it, like me. Donations in gold are appreciated, as you can see I don't own any real gold.
Bitcoin is constantly being improved and odds are won't be used in 1000 years, unlike gold, which is a perfect element. Cats too can't be improved, maybe one-day there will be robotic cats but robots are more likely to replace humans that cats 

Why is Bitcoin > Gold
1. Bitcoin can be easily and safely stored for very cheap, it is almost impossible to steal as it is annoyomous. Use a wallet like this one   https://steemit.com/hardware/@abitcoinskeptic/securing-your-coins-with-a-hardware-wallet-nano-ledger-s to protect your coins. Us cats also can't hide bitcoin from you...yet
2. Bitcoin is easier to track and prove ownership. The ledger can't be altered. Gold can be melted down and is very difficult to find if it is stolen. Not that you will be able to recover stolen bitcoins but you will know where they went and can see where it is at all times.
3. Gold is very slow and costly to buy things with and requires trust. We don't know where gold is and can't verify someone's claim to it. Bitcoin doesn't require physical delivery and while transaction speeds are increasing, cost is decreasing. It can be improved, gold and cats can't!

That all being said I'd rather have gold. Cats love and trust gold. Bitcoin has moved up too quickly. Cats are cautious yet curious and never rush an important decision. In the past year alone BTC passed the value of an ounce of gold and is worth almost ten times as much. Bitcoin is finite in supply, gold is spread throughout the universe and is star dust!

What do you all think about this debate? Cats clearly prefer gold.
