Still Thinking about Gold?
Go Digital, Go for Cryptocurrency
Wondering how? Realpoints is the answer.
However, there is a long list
of distinctive cryptocurrency differences:
- Gold is physical, cryptocurrency, vice versa, virtual.
- Gold is stored in banks for security purposes and for payments, at the time when cryptocurrency exists on your computer and all payments are tracked by using the block-chain.
- Gold can be physically stolen, whereas the cryptocurrency is vulnerable only for hackers. And you can compare that fact up to infinity.
- Gold is available only where this is stored physically, the cryptocurrency is available wherever you have an access to Internet
- The process of gold liquidity dues to its material delivery to the recipient, liquidity cryptocurrency can be done almost instantly at any time.
People,
who have just begun using such kind of digital money always make such
comparisons with gold, asking the question: "Is it better to use
cryptocurrency than gold? Which kind of benefits does it have?" This
question has no particular answer, and if it does, it is quite complicated and
depends on personal conditions and preferences. Inside the community of lovers
of free money on there are regular disputes about it. All pro and contra have
always been quite strong from the both perspective, but they usually erase boundaries
between two resources.
Nevertheless, it is not
an easy task to determine the winner of this race for power. However, in this
article we are still going to show you all main advantages and disadvantages of
these two assets, that will allow the reader to answer this question by him or herself.
Costs for
transportation and storage
Gold needs some space, where
you will storage it, as well as a certain number of specific resources that will
help to transport it. Transportation of gold involves the usage of roads, cars,
human labor, as well as safe places to storage and secure it. Moreover, By any
kind of gold transportation you have to spend more different kinds of
resources. To build roads, we have to devote enormous capital and pay the
workers for their labor, the same story we see by conditions of security of
valuables of cars and/or warehouses and its transportation. And it not a secret
for anybody, that his human labor is very expensive because not everyone can do
it professionally. Even collector who is going to keep a small amount of gold
at home should spent some sum on protectable precautions.
Firstly, you will need a
robust collector or other safe place to store metal, equipped with a lock and
having a physical space for storage.
You also need to pay for
transportation. If the collector wants to come to a broker to buy some metal,
he needs to pay for armoured car for delivering the gold to his house (in the
case, he doesn’t have his own armored car, that also needs some special proper
care or if he is ready to risk).
If you want to use gold as a
currency, then you need some space to store it. For example, a pouch, made from
natural skin where you would be wearing your coins with the image of Satoshi
Nakamoto. Alternatively, coins can be worn in a pocket or backpack, that
could be quite uncomfortable, couldn’t it? As a result of such practices,
historically the emergence of paper banknotes, which have replaced the heavy
and not always comfortable coins. However, there is no free cheese in a
mousetrap, or paper banknotes, but only backed by gold, is still needed to
ensure protection against counterfeiting
Cryptocurrency
exactly goes ahead and let behind any other kind of money when the conversation
turns to transfer fee. This currency exists only in a digital world, and the
greatest space requirements include only: the presence of a computer and/or a
smartphone, a flash drive, or even just a brain of its owner. Casual payments
are easy enough to make with the help of a mobile web-wallet, thus eliminating
the temptation to return to a "paper substitutes."
