Not once Bitcoin has been called as the digital gold and getting into a digital era, it's clear, at least for me that digital currencies and stores of value will replace the good old gold and probably real estate as well as a long term stores of value.

Some are probably still seeing a lot of value in gold and even owning some, but I don't. Never was a fan of gold and never even liked wearing gold jewellery... That's just me. In my humble opinion gold and real estate have quite well held their value over time so we can call them a store of value. Cars and technology haven't got to that level, with small exceptions of course, but technological improvements are changing our lives as we speak and also our long term values.

Now I have a musing for you guys: if you were to leave your grandchildren a legacy, something to remind them of you, what would that be, one Bitcoin or 9.5 ounces of gold?

Now if I got the wrong price in gold for BTC please excuse dear fellow leos... it's what coinmarketcap gave me. I'm sure you got the point though. So what would you leave on a will or burry under a tree for your grandchildren, a one Bitcoin nano ledger with its private keys or the equivalent of that BTC in gold? Consider that your grandchildren will probably get into your legacy's possession in about 50 years from now.

Gold might probably become a valuable relic at some point but I would choose BTC... It's just what my gut feeling tells.

Thanks for attention, Adrian
