If cryptocurrency exchanges don't exist in good public standing, the price of bitcoin will collapse. This is a risk that does not exist with precious metals.
The real problem with bitcoin is you cannot physically transfer it. I can sell you a USB drive with a wallet on it, but you shouldn't buy it because you can't know if I have a copy of that USB drive in my other pocket. The only way to transfer bitcoin for-real is to submit it to the network and to make sure it's confirmed.
My take is that the censorship-resistant qualities of bitcoin are highly overstated.
