Devil's advocate.... do most people that want to buy gold an older generation because that is what a store of value has been for generations? Newer generation does not see gold the same way as a store of value as the newer generations.
So does this directly correlate to BTC ETF's? Dunno... just a random thought.
this territory is moderated
Gold is inherently valuable to most everyone as it is a precious metal and there is therefore not a lot of it. (Still, there is a bit of it). BTC doesn't have any intrinsic value beyond a digitally derived market.

  1. It only has agreed upon value among those who use it. Could say it is a "derived value".
