I think BTC is better than Gold. BTC can raise up to 10k Dollar Gold not.
BTC is undoubtedly better than bitcoin not only because of prices but many other factors.
One of the prominent of those is the real use of btc vs gold other than speculative activities. Bitcoin can be readily use as currency but use of gold is limited to jeweleries and coins and these form cannot be realised at real value of gold.
If what we need is money in a short time, investing in bitcoin's right choice. Look current price, if we invested our saving on bitcoin a month ago. Today we can already reap huge profits.
