Gold isn't easily transportable. If you had $100,000 in gold and wanted to leave the country with it, that would be quite a hassle.
A bitcoin wallet can live on your smartphone or a USB stick. Or you can memorize 12 words and gain access to your wallet anywhere there's an internet connection.
If you wanted to send $1000 of your gold somewhere, that's another hassle.
A bitcoin transaction can be sent in minutes anywhere in the world.
The supply of gold grows each year; the higher the price goes, the more gold is produced, therefore decreasing gold's buying power.
Bitcoin is on a fixed schedule that can't be changed. There will only ever be 21 million bitcoin, making each one that much more valuable.
