Which is better

If you are looking for purely stable investment, go with Bonds which is far better option instead of physical coins or bars. If you want to buy Gold to have it physically and potentially use it to avail loan etc, that's different case

gold bars. excellent for smuggling🥺

this post reminded me that I had brought some digital gold from Paytm.  now it's almost doubled.. brought in 2017.

For gold only trust physical gold that you can touch and feel in hand

and not bonds, etf, online gold etc

It is investing, and not https://youtube.com/watch?v=k80UQWWUIYs,
that one needs to physically 'touch' and 'feel'.

Maybe even there, the world would eventually move to such augmented reality, in some scenarios at-least.

Not getting my point

Gold is an emergency asset with high liquidity

Holding it in virtual from does not guarantee me whether the entity holding it for me will actually hold the gold promised, it may be gormint or any regulated entity, I don't trust them.

Unless gold is held by someone where i can visit and see my gold in a vault I would not invest in it.

Also, buying gold price backed bonds which do not hold any physical gold is Ponzi scheme
