Bitcoin is a ledger, not property

The units of account on this ledger are limited, meaning they rise in value over time as the ledger gains global recognition for its power and security. But the units of account (BTC) don't have any material reality; they are not property. Nor does anyone own them; they can only have knowledge of keys that allow them to make changes to the ledger involving the BTC accessible through those keys

True and I want to complete your idea:

In contrast, gold is true property.

It is a physical, finite asset (not fixed), recognized for thousands of years as having intrinsic value.

You can touch it, store it, move it, and transfer it without relying on networks, passwords, or digital systems.

Gold doesn’t need digital infrastructure to exist or retain its value — it is a direct and tangible form of ownership.

Bitcoin and gold will coexist and complete each other.
