Isn't the whole point of this thread that gold is superior to bitcoin as a store of value because it also has intrinsic value/utility?

If most people investing in gold are using it as a store of value, it says nothing of the other uses for the material.

When you're making an investment in something, it's a feature for that thing to have more, not less, potential applications.

Haha personally I am a little baffled that my one small comment on gold sparked such a big thread.

Yeah, gold is kinda similar to bitcoin, kinda different. I don't think much of what has been said is particularly new to most people.

... and jewelry has (artistic) value beyond the value of what it is made of.
