In many aspects, Bitcoin is better than gold.

1. Gold is scarce, Bitcoin has a fixed amount.
2. Gold is hard to store, Bitcoin is stored in the blockchain, like in thin air.
3. It is hard to cross international borders carrying gold. With Bitcoin, nobody knows you've got some.
4. Gold could easily be seized. With Bitcoin, it could die with you.
5. With gold, there is the possibility that miners could go out of space and harvest all they want. With Bitcoin, there will only be 21 million even after a thousand years.

So we could probably say that Bitcoin is a better and more reliable store of value than gold.
