Moving gold from one country to another country on your is difficult.

Storing gold properly without getting robbed is difficult.

Try moving $5million dollar worth gold and you'll realize the advantage which bitcoin brings.

If I read the price correctly that would be something like 80kg. I can't be bothered to dig deeper, but that would be just a few gold bars, I suspect. Not very hard to handle, IMO...
