i don't think gold can compete in that field, its always the upperhand that bitcoin got when it comes to the return rate of investment.
It's not that gold can't compete with bitcoin in terms of returns, it's simply that gold has increased significantly over the past thousand years and it has reached its peak and saturation. Therefore, when comparing profits these days, it is clear that gold cannot be compared with bitcoin, but in terms of safety, gold is much superior.
Nowadays, gold is considered a safe haven, a store of value, not a profit-making investment, so I think there is no need to compare. If you want to find high returns, bitcoin or stocks are the choice, if you want to find a safe haven for your assets, it will be more suitable.
Even if in principle both gold and bitcoin should serve the same function, there is a massive difference in the history of the two, with gold being recognized as a valuable asset for thousands of years while bitcoin is very young compared to gold.
So gold has pretty much reached as much as it is possible under the current economic climate, while bitcoin is still growing at an impressive speed and getting adopted by more people, which makes it more suitable for those that want a greater ROI.
