        Gold is a physical good with intrinsic value and real uses beyond it being valuable.

        ETA - gold is also generally bought as an investment (or jewellery/decorative purposes, or for industrial use), not for use as a currency.

          What intrinsic value is that supposed to be? Who talks about using Bitcoin as a currency?
