It seems as though Bitcoin is the least secure of all the 'stores of value'. I can find few examples, outside of military operations, with more than $10M in gold lost to a heist, yet it happens multiple times a year with Bitcoin. And it's not like someone is logging into your Fidelity account and taking all those APPL shares.

It's not like in 1800 news of stolen gold was instantly broadcasted to the whole world.

Yes, but even the largest known gold heists are, for the most part, smaller than what we're seeing in bitcoin.
