Maybe I'm lazy but
  1. I don't want to store/spend/buy/sell metals
  2. I don't want to trust someone else to do it on my behalf
  3. I want a money that has utility beyond wealth storage
  1. Gold mining is one of the most polluting and toxic activity.
Storing gold = literally killing people
I have a friend that he lived near a gold mine. He's the only one remaining alive. All his family members are DEAD from that arsenic pollution all over (water, plants, air).

Holy crap, Darth. Can't he prove the deaths were arsenic related and get that mine shut down?
