The idea that gold is useful as a store of value is ridiculous. You have painted the picture perfectly with your comment. It is not easily moved. It is not easily utilized. It is worthless to the average person and it’s price is heavily inflated.
Coinbase has a focus on trading. However, you can use bitcoin to buy things through Coinbase Commerce.
