Does BTC act like gold in the fiat market?

I don’t understand why this currency is still mainly on the cryptomarket. If we take the top 2 ETH, then this token has a huge technological potential with its ICO, NFT, DEFI also has multiple cross-chains that expand the ETH ecosystem.
What keeps BTC so high? If we speak openly, then BTC has no role in itself, it's just a dummy compared to other technologies on the other crypto
P.S. This is my opinion I just want to know
It is true as you described. That BTC has no role in the emergence of other blockchain technologies. Unlike the presence of Ethereum. But what we should know is that Bitcoin is the motor of all altcoins. Altcoins will not move without Bitcoin. Because current passive income continues through the Bitcoin blockchain system, one of which is the mining system. Bitcoin is also one of the blockchains that have been tested to be secure, and cannot be hacked. Even Bitcoin developers have not changed the Bitcoin blockchain system since it was created until now. Unlike Ethereum. Along the way, Ethereum has changed a lot, even trying with Ether2.
