To me, bitcoin is a better store of value as said by the OP. I feel like I posses my BTC at hand more than when they were to be Gold which can be destroyed or stolen which BTC is not very vulnerable unless you make a mistake. Ownership of Gold means you have to carry it along when going to exchange whereas bitcoin does not need the owner to carry it in their full bags.
And also governments sort of control gold so the issue of centralization comes in here.
