Well I think if we compare the value of bitcoin in to gold the gold is more expensive rather than bitcoin because the value of bitcoin was volatile while the value of gold is stable. As of now the value of bitcoin is still rising and growing rapidly that can be a little bit expensive than gold but as we know we cannot guarantee that the value of the bitcoin will remain as is because we cannot predict the events that happenings in the market. That is why I think that gold is more expensive than gold if we consider some factors.

If I understand you correctly, you're saying Bitcoin has a better return than gold because Bitcoin is more risky (i.e. less stable than gold.)

This would be a case of 'risk premium.'  For example, stocks on average have to do better than government bonds over the long term, to compensate for the fact that their values are less stable than the bonds.

While this might be true, I still think there's more at play here than risk premium.  As I pointed out, Bitcoin is still cheaper than gold (and was much cheaper not long ago,) so it's more attractive.

But the factor that might be more important than all others is that the Western elites probably favor Bitcoin (and cryptos) over gold as a potential tool for a reset of the entire system, for a variety of reasons (one of which is that it would be very embarrassing to them if gold becomes a thousand times higher than the $35/ounce price that they last tried to defend.)

I think gold will be forgotten in a long time. Unless there are major wars in the world, or major changes in the world pattern. At this time, it is clear that bitcoin has a greater growth advantage than gold.
Gold is an ancient tradition of storing wealth throughout the world. Therefore, it will take quite long time for bitcoin to be on that place but the edge of bitcoin will always keep it on top from the gold now. Investors of gold don’t earn rapidly as the investors of bitcoin. Bitcoin since it has started has made its investors earn hundred and thousands percentage of a single bitcoin they invested, on the other side the profit percentage of gold is extremely slow.
If for me, I see Bitcoin and Gold as an investment tool only. I do not really care about their prices, you should know that Bitcoin is an object in digital form, while Gold is a physical thing. Of course both have significantly different prices. Bitcoin's price will depend on the development of the digital world and the digital currency, while the Gold price will depend on the difficulty and development of the mining world. The more drained, the more resources will be depleted. And in this case, the digital world has an edge, I think.

Since the price of a bitcoin is getting higher and higher, it probably defeat the price of gold after a long time.

Both Bitcoin and Gold are very profitable nowadays and their prices keep going up fastly. But currently Bitcoin's price is a lot higher than Gold's price, and it is predicted that it will keep rising for the future too. But Gold is still more stable and trusted by people more than BTC.

I personally do not believe in sustainability of BTC. It's likely that other crypto will overcome it.

obviously, bitcoin price surpass this gold price in terms of value. these are both good for saving money, investing in gold is profitable like what you can get in bitcoin, but if ever the time comes that bitcoin resets, then the value of bitcoin is nothing, so practically, much better to own/buy/hold gold too like you saving/hold your bitcoin to earn profits.
for the purpose of diversification of investment this is must to keep something in hard form of assets. Bitcoin is riskier than keeping gold but the quality of gold is that it can be used in like ornaments and such the use of gold is more than the use of bitcoin which makes gold less risky. However bitcoin has made its investors richer.
Bitcoin and gold are both good to invest at, I myself was investing in both of them especially gold jewelries where I can sell in case of emergency, but over all I prefer bitcoin over gold as  we all agreed that bitcoin will really make you rich depending on how much we will take risk on it.

Bitcoin has a higher price than gold. Right now but the past year gold has higher price. But now even if we double the price of gold than btc, btc has a higher price. But the advantage of gold is even if you hold it fo to long it has still a high value while bitcoin has no stable price we dont if the price of btc right now will be always.
The only one reason gold is somehow better than bitcoin is, its stable price. If you consider bitcoin of year 2010 and then consider price of gold at that time, you come to know that gold have same price as it has now. Maybe some thousands higher but now that much. But now, bitcoins have crossed gold even they are unstable. Gold is second best investment source.

I think the bitcoin is better than the gold I see it from
Let's see.

- easy storage
Correct.

- the price is much more expensive
Nope. You shouldn't pay attention to articles comparing Bitcoin's whole unit (1BTC) value with Gold's troy ounce unit (31.1GR) value. It's an unfair comparison all the way through. If you want to see the main difference, then compare Bitcoin's market with Gold's market cap -> Bitcoin's market cap $295 billion. Gold's market cap $7630 billion. What a difference, right?

- not taxed
Bitcoin does get taxed, just like any other asset. However, it's your obligation to declare your holdings and gains in a completely honest manner. People not being willing to do so doesn't mean that you don't have to pay tax. Bitcoin also doesn't need to be legalized in whatever country to pay tax over your holdings and gains.

Bitcoin and gold both are highly expensive to keep their 1 kg gold or 1 BTC. But if somehow you could afford anyone one of them, then why not try Bitcoin which has proved to me more efficient- in terms of giving returns. The difference in their rate of intersect is so much that i f you buy 1 BTC you can buy 1 kg gold easily after few months, because bitcoin has proven to increase its basic investment into 2x-3x and so on over the time. Still bitcoin has a lot of potential to raise your funds, so try catching bitcoin train rather jumping on gold.
If the calculated 1 kg gold is also very expensive both have their respective advantages, correct bitcoin according to you more efficient than gold that must have a certificate to keep it legitimate maybe.

For now bitcoin is at its high pitch value for us. Bitcoin has the obvious bigger value over gold. Although even if you Hold gold for a reall really long time even for a 100 years it is still going to be valuable. Bitcoin on the other couldnt go that far i think but bitcoin has i think doubled the price of gold for every grams of it.

I don't think you can do the math like that. If you want to compare bitcoin and gold prices you need to look to their marketcap. If you do that, you will see that gold is much more expensive than bitcoin right now because it's marketcap is somewhere around $6 tln and bitcoin is just sitting at $300 bln. Bitcoin price needs to go up a lot, before it becomes as valuable as gold, so this means that if BTC really manages to become gold 2.0, then it's still incredibly cheap.
