People don't want to store gold and valuable at home without insurance. There are businesses that will store your gold for you. And yes home robberies do occur along with disasters from flood, quakes, and weather.

I wasn't suggesting people did want to store gold, I was suggesting that storing crypto isn't necessarily easier or safer than doing so :)

That said, as the post I was responding to mentioned there are definitely people who absolutely do store gold.

Home robberies and floods do also occur... and those things can take out offline hard-wallets just like they can take out gold.
