Gold maybe widely utilized today compared to Bitcoin or cryptocurrency but as we look at the trend of the technology and financial system, there is no doubt that digital currency or cryptocurrency would be widely utilized when the technology for masses is good enough to cater such advances in financial system.
Bitcoin being a currency, asset or a store of value let alone the financial inclusion of the unbanked is the greatest feature of Bitcoin. Gold can't bring financial inclusion to unbanked but Bitcoin did. As a store of value, over the decade, within the history of the value of Bitcoin, had surpassed gold in giving power to the purchasing power each 4 year cycle of Bitcoin. With that and the recent market situation, I prefer Bitcoin over gold.
I also believe that Bitcoin will be more important than gold in future because of advances in technology and finance. Bitcoin ability to help people who do not have bank accounts is very important and it has shown it can be good way to store value. And choice Bitcoin over gold makes sense because we can see current market and growing popularity of digital currencies. Bitcoin is little risky but gold has been safe investment Bitcoin unique features and growing use make it more attractive option. As world becomes more digital it is likely that digital currencies like Bitcoin will play bigger role in world financial system.
