No I do not think that its way better than the bitcoin but they both have their good things so I do not think we can say something about it in the overall.
They also have their ups and downs too.
It actually depends on who sees it, it could be better for others but for us it could be not. I only say based on my experience and since I have not invested with gold, I believe bitcoin is better as it provide me good income using this in trading and investing.
