It doesn't really matter
Even if Bitcoin is ways better than gold as money, this doesn't make it a superior means of payment or exchange on its own.

And the bitter irony is that gold makes a whole lot better store of value than Bitcoin in the strictest sense of this term (i.e. when all you need is to preserve your wealth and not multiply it)
