Gold itself may be real but the current value of gold is based substantially on it being a hedge against paper money. It that sense a Bit Coin is equivalent.
As the 2008 financial crisis continues to fade through time, gold is probably in for a long fall because, as you say, it doesn't really have a supply/demand reason for it being where it is.

"Forever" is a long time to be riding those coattails.
