I've never really understood the argument around gold being better because you can melt it down into jewelry. If there isn't a market for gold anymore, then the jewelry wouldn't be worth more than costume pieces, right?

Your other arguments I can understand, although I do think the use of cryptocurrencies will keep growing whether I like it or not.
