I do not know why they say gold is better than bitcoin, while bitcoin transactions are spreading in their midst.
My speculation, maybe they do not know bitcoin or do not know how to use bitcoin, when in fact they admit that bitcoin is better than gold.
I know gold is difficult to store if we have much gold. Gold also not so profitable as high as bitcoin.
Gold not good for short speculation, its not worth but gold is very good value in future with no inflation and accepted in every single of country in the world. Every people know gold.
