Yes Bitcoin is taking over vs gold as a place to hold your wealth.

Unthinkable really that for so long throughout human history gold has been the ultimate store of value. Entire economies have their money supply backed by it, back in the day.

Bitcoin is slowly but surely taking over, at least for now. My only concern is the reliance on the internet to transact in BTC. What happens in a SHTF scenario where you need to escape with your wealth and potentially spend it?

Escaping with it might be ok, it's how to spend it that will be a challenge!
