    Physical possession of a metal that has historically kept a value over numbers on a computer.

    PMs look cool where as bitcoin doesn't look anything . I doubt bitcoin will actually become anything in the real world, it's more of a fad for computer peoples.

    Precious metals win on every level especially the most important:

    Trust.

    Security.

    History.

    Awesomeness (depending on the coin or medal of course).

    I feel all the money has been made with bitcoin, far more risk with it compared to metals at current prices.

    Made some people incredibly rich, but I can't see it being allowed to going anywhere from here (but admittedly I have said that before and look where it is now).

    Agreed. You had to get in early. That boat has sailed.
