Where did you find this? I've seen it somewhere but I don't remember.

I think there are a few issues with this image.
Bitcoin isn't necessarily fungible. Apparently people are willing to pay more for newly generated "clean" Bitcoin than they are for used and "dirty" Bitcoin.
Also Bitcoin isn't all that durable. Accidentally hit one button and you could lose all of your Bitcoin forever
I would say that gold is easily transactable. It is fairly easy to hand over a chunk of gold.
Also I would say that gold is not easy to counterfeit. How does one exactly counterfeit gold?
