Gold can't be sent through electrical wires, because it's physical. Bitcoin HAS to be purely digital to do what it does better than gold.

What other uses does a pizza have? Pizza is useful as food when you're hungry. You don't need it for anything else. it has intrinsic value in that it is food. Bitcoin has intrinsic value in that is the first, most proven, purely digital, completely decentralized money. That is value! That is valuable! That is a trait that is needed, that is not fulfilled by any other product. Why do I need it to ALSO be used to fill teeth and make jewelry? I don't personally care that it doesn't have a secondary use.
