Actually, you could--you could irradiate the gold to the point where decontamination would cost on the order of the worth of the gold itself.

No one said it was impossible to damage gold (there are easier wayd than to make it radioactive).

It's just much harder compared to doing comparable or greater value destruction to a bitcoin address, especially accidentally.
