Not a lawyer, but everyone has a password locked phone and its standard practice for device security. I'm not optimistic for a prosecutor winning on an interference charge.
Generally I'd rather be in a trade surplus; I would want my country to sell more things than it buys. Energy, technology, machinery, services, whatever it is, if I'm selling, it means I have productive capability/advantage over others and thus more independence.
Ah, so gold is a shiny rock that doesn't have a decentralized transmission network (the internet).
Mining and smelting gold requires quite a bit of electricity. But Bitcoin the network undoubtedly uses more.
As for small denominations, Bitcoin goes down to a single unit of Satoshi (1/100 millionth of a btc) and since its digital, subdivision is trivial.
So despite this, there are far more retail and commercial opportunities to exchange your btc for goods and services, where as I don't know of any place I can trade gold coins for things.
Your observations are also a bullish signal for Bitcoin, as it sort of functions as a "digital gold". Cheaper to transmit, cheaper to custody, basically instantly auditable/verifiable, as a financial instrument. No need to inspect, ship and melt down to store in warehouses.
