I guess the question I have is: how do you define "good" money?
I think there are many instances where Money A may be better than Money B based on a specific feature. For example, if Money A is easier to transport internationally, you may consider exchange Money B for Money A for your short-term use (since Money A would be considered the "better" money)

Good money should have these properties:
  • verifiable
  • fungible
  • portable
  • durable
  • divisible
  • scarce
  • censorship resistant
  • established history
Therefore, we can use these properties for comparison. Bitcoin beats gold and fiat in almost all of these terms. See this article: https://nakamotoinstitute.org/mempool/the-bullish-case-for-bitcoin/
