Bitcoin is the only thing you actually own, change my mind
I just stumbled upon this and it was too good not to share.
I am not if it is entirely true, but here's the premise.
Bitcoin is the only thing you actually own, everything else can be taken from you by men in black suits with guns:

What do you think?
Change my mind!
One thing for certain - bitcoin private key is far easier to hide than cash, let alone a bank account. However what happens with these bitcoins - if their value plummets or skyrockets or if they get double-spent in a 51% attack (I heard there's been one recently) - that's completely unpredictable.
My opinion - if someone offers you bitcoins in exchange for a yard sale item - take them. But to exchange cash for bitcoins - that's way too risky.
That was bitcoin gold involved in a double spend attack. Bitcoin is thousands times more secure than bitcoin gold, it's not even really comparable to be honest. The odds of a 51% attack on bitcoin are slim to none.
