Bitcoin is far superior in my opinion. Gold has it's real world uses don't get me wrong, but as an investment and currency bitcoin will likely dwarf it in the future. It's already much better as a currency, but I'm sure it will surpass it in investment value soon enough.
There is a finite number of bitcoins but they are infinitely divisible so are they really rare?
infinitely divisible? when we are at 1 satoshi you're done, there no more dividend, and in fact this could be a problem if one satoshi in a distant future will be worth too much like 1 dollar or more
Quite easy to add a few more decimal places.
Exactly, and this is what would happen if it became a problem, but I think we're a long way off from that and we should be so lucky

The Bitcoin supply is, in fact, limited and finite. It is set to reap immediate benefits going forward when it comes to supply and demand, the most basic sound money concept. No worries about mere fiat currency principles like inflation or deflation. You can chart the amount of digital currency in circulation at any time in the future.
