I think either way both will forever have value.   How much on BTC in 10 years, i don't know I hope a lot. But gold if you are more short term you could go almost to any country and spend it.  Even remote no internet can chances are find someone to buy gold. BTC you need to be in a country that has technology with internet, etc.  So I see it really depending on your plan on where you will be going or retiring.
