 Big brother holds gold. The little brother holds cash. I hold Bitcoin and this is why: From 1920 to 1932, it took 1 $20 bill to buy 1 ounce of gold. In 2016 it took $1,260 (63 $20 bills) to buy 1 ounce of gold. Today it takes $2,660 (133 $20 bills) to buy 1 ounce of gold. Gold has done good, but Bitcoin has and will continue to do better.
