>coinbase fees are 0.2%. gold dealer fees are at least 3%, often, in crisis way more

>you need to provide personal details when purchasing any real amount of gold from official dealers. buy from non-official dealers and you can get scammed.

>you can literally pick up bitcoin in person for cash from paxful(/localbitcoins) without any id and without the possibility of getting scammed

>if everyone around you is out of bitcoin to sell, you can still just make a bank transfer
>if coinbase is banned, you can look up some small exchange that won't be registered with the local authorities yet. countries that banned bitcoin are 3rd world, they won't be anywhere near up to date.
