patience is obvious for both. if Gold need more patience it is also have more profit then bitcoin. you can sell gold also for less profit if you can't wait. and if you hold bitcoin for long time you also get more profit. so I think both are equally important and have advantages.
I agree that bitcoin is more profitable than gold but gold have a reputation. It has faith of people from centuries. Bitcoin is new and not many people trust it.
Modern thinkers who beleives in new technology will invest in bitcoin and traditional people will always choose gold as they have faith in something that they can hold physically.
