RE: River: More Americans now own Bitcoin than gold. This is huge.

It's not surprising that this is happening. Gold is known to be a safe haven against a global crisis. But you also have this new financial system that's equated to a kind of digital gold, easier to access, quicker to purchase, and somewhat "anonymous." While anonymity in cryptocurrencies is just an illusion, it does give a different sense of ownership than an institution can provide. Interesting data.
