Some people say gold is the safest holder of value.

Some people say Bitcoin has no real world value.

Here's an excellent video on comparing Gold with Bitcoin properties.
Spoiler: Bitcoin comes out as winner.

Summary

• Bitcoin and gold are both hard to counterfeit. Gold has lately been more counterfeitable with tungsten.

• Bitcoin is more portable than gold.

• Bitcoin is more divisible than gold.

• Bitcoin is more deflationary than gold. New gold is mined every year, and technological improvements can lead to a sudden LOT of gold being mined - same as what happened with oil. Bitcoin has a hard 21 million cap, until the community agrees to increase it.

• Bitcoin and gold both hold inherent value.
