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 think its because they are more expose to gold than bitcoin and they have more knowledge about it. Also being a gold holder will give you an answer that it is better than bitcoin. As a bitcoin user, yes we belive that bitcoin is better than gold as we used it and it helps us a lot financially for our everyday life.
