I think its because Bitcoin is considered an actual currency as dumb as that sounds its the case. With bitcoin you can buy goods and services like you can with the dollar as of now with gold you still cant use it like a currency. Not saying gold does not have value at all. Its just not the same kind of value. With that been said I would rather have a chunk of gold over a chunk of bitcoins. Bitcoin has been following the dollar for the most part just with bigger jumps. If the dollar ever falls bit coin will implode more then likely.
