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.
BTC we can use it whenever we want, and we want money we can sell it and get money. And we have options to pay our bills directly through Bitcoin. And the main thing is the price of BTC is high, and there is no comparison to Gold. Holding money in the bank and holding gold both are same no more profit but a safe investment.
You two are talking about advantages that bitcoin have over the gold, and question is about is there more gold holders or bitcoin holders? Gold is much older, and in some counties gold is a cultural thing, its probably more gold holders in the world at the moment but situation is changing, many crypto currencies are at rise. Fact is that in last 9 years people earn more on crypto then on gold and precious metals.
