Gold can be taken when i am not looking, arguably if my keys are well kept secrets the money would be safer in crypto
Gold doesn't really 'need to be maintained' . Pure gold doesn't corrode (along with platinum and chromium)
If you have that amount of gold- so that you can't hide, it, then you have no problems... lol
(I'd also argue that a violent criminal with a pair of pliers would easily access your crypto keys...)
I think the question is more a case of 'Do you have more faith in nature or man's inherent lack of intelligence and weaknesses ?'
Bloch chain is a technology only few years old - and not even a new concept in terms of 'principals of immutable transactions' (The tally stick from three centuries ago can fulfill that purpose).
I going with nature and it's several billion years old 'intelligence' , myself - 'cos I see fuck all evidence of humans finding grown up solutions - to pretty much anything...
The digital age reminds me of kids with a new toy - determined to play with it , knowing it just has to be the best of all toys, ever - even when it isn't.
The digital age - the willfully delusional, age...
I agree with you when it comes to NFT's and mainstream shitcoins like doge. But there is some deep dives into sovereign wealth going on between the monero and zcash communities. This needs to be explored to its fullest potential before I will doubt the technology.
The tech isn't the problem.
The social decadence (in the west) is the problem. ...'Good times, weak men' ... blah blah...
Tech is downsteam from society, and not getting it in that order , leads to all sort s of problems ...(tail wagging dog etc)..
If i had 1 million dollars, and i will one day, I will show you what i can do with blockchain technology and cheap hardware i import from Taiwan to secure my private residence.
It will be signatures required to access the property and the sense of security will be superior to anything offered from a main stream home alarm company. I see the technology seemless integrate with my life in a way that empowers me in macro economic movements, which not subjecting me to technology I dont control.
Some of the privacy coins like PIVX has special designed ledgers that would let me even host my own master node, which would leave me independently verifying my own transactions, no witnesses or network required. I havent bee talking about it much yet because its virgin tech and likey has issues, but i have never invested in a coin that would reduce my quality of living... Well aside from Hive lol

...Aren't locked doors and a .38 much cheaper?
Unhackable , and miles more fun ! lol
'sense of security'..the worlds biggest illusion....
In Canada you cant mention the gun, you just say "the robber brought this unknown and unmarked gun in to rob me, he is now dead because i disarmed him and NO I CAN NOT IMAGINE BEING ALIVE IF I DID NOT DISARM HIM, I FELT I WOULD SURE DIE." If you go off that line, you go to jail.
