True, but unlike gold bars, which citizens could hide under their mattress in the 1930s, after the government attempted to force people to turn it in, Bitcoin is perfectly traceable by anybody with an internet connection. And so, therefore, makes a very bad store of value because the government will know that you have it. You can of course claim otherwise, but the second you make a transaction after that lie you are fucked.
