Gold has practical uses in industrial applications and electronics. It also has a floor, which is the cost to mine and ship. Gold has a minimum theoretical value although I'm unsure off the top of my head how low that might be.

Bitcoin's only value is what people will pay for it and has nothing backing it up.

It's not really comparable.
