I am sure that in terms of physical beauty gold is much better than Bitcoin and you can show gold to others especially if they are already minted as jewelries. However, since gold is physical it can be bulky keeping and transferring them that's why we now prefer the new old -- the digital currency like Bitcoin.

Of course, if really have the money and if there is a more accessible way to invest in gold,  I might also be interested with that since it is good to spread our eggs in many baskets. Both are also considered as the safe haven with Bitcoin now also sharing the title.
