"Gold is used in jewelry and electronics, so it has intrinsic value."

This is a terrible argument for gold as competition for bitcoin.

Firstly, value is subjective and intrinsic value doesn't exist.

Secondly, using gold for non-monetary uses devalues it as a money.

Money is not meant to be consumed. Its purpose is to store value and exchange it for consumables or investments in the future.

If a money needs "intrinsic value" and non-monetary uses, we should all just start carrying jugs of water around to pay for things.

Can't think of anything with more uses...
