Nothing says gold and bitcoin are mutually exclusive. Maybe have some of both. From Nick Giambruno at internationalman.com:
Given the characteristics of gold and Bitcoin, which is best suited for sending value through time and space?
Below, I’ll analyze the ten most decisive monetary attributes and see whether gold or Bitcoin has an advantage.
Monetary Attribute #1: Scarcity
The World Gold Council estimates there are 6.8 billion ounces of mined gold globally, and annual production averages around 118 million ounces.
That much is what is known. However, we don’t know how much gold will be discovered and mined in the future.
For example, how many mined ounces of gold will be available on June 1, 2031?
We can probably make a pretty accurate projection, but nobody can know.
What will the Bitcoin supply be on June 1, 2031?
It will be around 20,589,121 Bitcoins.
With Bitcoin, the current and future supply is finite and known to all.
There will never be more than 21 million Bitcoins, and there is nothing anyone can do to change that.
Today, the Bitcoin supply is about 19.6 million, meaning the vast majority—over 93%—of the total Bitcoin supply has already been created.
The remaining 1.4 million BTC will come onto the market at a preset, ever-decreasing rate until the last Bitcoin is created 116 years from now, in 2140.
