Bitcoin is time delimited and finite whereas gold is finite. If major financial systems were to fail, the values of both would skyrocket, although bitcoin would make a better medium of exchange because of portability, in my opinion.

I wonder what assets are resistant to mass systemic failures arising due to calamities such as war etc. Bitcoin: without the internet, it would be hard to transact Fine Art and Gold: hard to carry around Dollars, land, guns, alcohol?

- i've tried and failed many times at this. Finally, I started an outsourcing company 5group.co. My growth model is to get business from field partners like your self and pay them 20% of the life time of profits from that customer. For example, if someone refers a chat support outsourcing customer and the customer spends 10k usd in a year, we pay out about $1400. We manage the labor/office space etc so the is no capex like in real estate. You do need to have the savvy to generate business though. -- Prosper marketplace...lend money on prosper and receive 7-8 % - tough if you dont have capital

Completely commoditized service with a few core parterships scattered here and there. Not able to take on the better capitalized players i.e Microsoft, Google, Apple, heck even facebook. Long term odds are not great, unless they merge with a complete ecosystem player like the above

Thats why it was posed as a question. It is not my personal hypothesis. I was hoping to hear differing opinions.
