Gold is created when two stars collide with each other. That is enormous energy - much bigger than any distributed network on Earth can produce. So, it's indeed very reliable and impossible to counterfeit.
Gold is much more universal as it is likely to be accepted by other creatures in the Universe, Bitcoin - is local to the Earth. Also, gold will be accepted after apocalypse, Bitcoin will not.

IDK if this has been posted before but I came across this comparison and it's pretty well done.
