first bitcoin has to gain a much more stable price.
second it has to be adopted by a very large percentage of the world and be known by everyone.
finally gold has to become obsolete so that people want to look for an alternative!
(not necessarily in this order)

then bitcoin can become kind of a reference for measuring value.

Once Bitcoin marketcap reaches 1 trillion level it will have stable price. Just like gold it has to little market cap now and can easily be manipulated but its growing fast.
See how Gold market was back in the day, very volatile like BTC. People think gold has always been stable whic is not true.


The price of gold moved a lot in the past, but thanks to markets that are very interconnected then the price of gold has stabilized but there are times when the price of gold skyrockets immensely and gold holders are waiting for that to happen similar to what we are doing with bitcoin.
But Gold never increases strongly and fastly like Bitcoin, it can not change more than 10% per day like Bitcoin. Even, Bitcoin can changes its value ~20% per day. That is the interesting of the Bitcoin market while Gold has not it.
This is a positive but gold have its own positive gold have some base value and some limited quantity.
Everyone in the world knows about gold .and we can exchange anything with gold.
While in bitcoin its only known to few people although in future there is a possibility that bitcoin beats gold when it will be known by all.
Gold is a kind of metal that can be found on earth, not a digital thing just like bitcoin. So there is no reason that bitcoin will replace gold, only they are fighting on price in the market as both of them are competing to become top. They are both profitable and when it comes to the choice many are into bitcoin now because of the popularity of it's pricing and while others are staying to gold.
