> Almost half of the world gold demand is for speculative/investment purposes

fair (and I think gold as a "beautiful" metal is dumb), but the other half of the usage (on your claim) is for an array of productive things. I don't see wires, heat reflectors, etc being made out of bitcoin.

It's far less than that. Only 7.48% is definitely useful (under "technology").
