Gold is much ahead in popularity, and much more preferred, when compared to Bitcoins. Billions around the world use gold, compared to the few hundred thousand who prefer Bitcoins.
And gold is shiny, heavy and pleasant to hold
for people who love shiny, fancy etc. gold is perfect way to save your money, but for people who love technology, and thinking for future money bitcoin is great choiice
I'd still pick gold over bitcoin, since time immemorial, gold has found a way to be valuable, to be something worth mining, worth pursuing. I don't see myself living in an age where gold would just be priceless commodity.
