Well, bitcoin looks both store of value and currency at the same time. In terms of value it's better than gold, because it has the same characteristics plus transferability as you said. Although I'll have to argue with the $10. Gold is really in short supply and is used on so many things. Sure, investors cover the majority of the demand, but man not just $10.
Bitcoin as being more successful as a gold-like store of value than as a day-to-day currency
What do you mean by saying more successful? More useful? The help it provided to investors is bigger than the help it provides to everyone that uses it as a currency? I think that's something subjective.
