Over the past 7 years, the cue ball has become an attractive tool for making money and naturally it has become much more attractive than gold because those who bought bitcoin 2-3-7 years ago are now seeing a multiple increase in their balance sheet, gold has not grown that much during this time and bitcoin continues to grow every 2-3 years increasing several times.
And the reason is simple, and it's because, bitcoin is much more accessible to every one than gold is, I learnt about gold while I was very young and growing up, I swore to invest in gold as soon as I start working and making my own money, that time eventually came when I start working and making little money every month, I remembered I vowed to invest in gold, when I tried asking around, searching the internet, and learning all the stress i will have to put myself through just to be able to invest in gold, not to talk of the minimum amount of money required to invest which I don't even have half of, I simply gave up, with the conclusion that investing in gold was something reserved for the rich and not the poor like me then.
Bitcoin came and as we can see, anybody anywhere in the world with internet connection can buy bitcoin worth any amount, even $1, this has contributed greatly to the reason why bitcoin has become a favorite than gold to most people today.
