Your silver actually represents REAL wealth, real money. Not credit, not someones debt obligation, no counterparty risk, just real money that can only be taken by direct physical force, most likely to result in the perforation of the thief.

Your silver has real world tangible value, as there are more patents for uses of silver than for any other metal.

Bitcoin is intagible with no physical manifestation. An entry in a database that has no value other than a temporary mania, not unlike the tulip bullbs. The bitcoin network is useless for anything other than niche transactions. It's not scaleable without adding layers of kludges, each one adding new layers of complexity and creating more opportunities for exploits.

Bitcoin isn't money, and it's not a store of value and has counterparty risks.

Jeets love bitcoin because they can use it to collect the wealth scammed from their elderly American victims.

Does anyone seriously think bitcoin will be a thing 100 years from now? How about 50 years, or 20 years? There is nothing fundamentally unique about it. Bitcoin merely benefits from the first mover advantage and the "network effect".

There are no fundamentals to bitcoin, just a circular logic that works in both directions:
>Why buy bitcoin? Because it goes up.
>Why does bitcoin go up? Because people buy it.

It works the same way going down. Bitcoin isn't the best crypto as far as transaction speed and cost are concerned, key issues in the scalability needed for any cryptocurrency to gain mainstream acceptance.

The oldest gold in the world (approx 5kg) was found near Varna Bulgaria. It is estimated at 6500 years old. We don't know much about the civilization because the oldest writings on earth is 5500 years old.
