CRYPTO, yes. Gold, not the case. Consider these uses for gold (from The Many Uses of Gold):

• Jewelry (The Primary Use of Gold)

• Financial Gold - Coinage, Bullion, Currency Backing

• Electronics

• Computers

• Dentistry

• Medicine

• Aerospace

• Awards and symbols of status

• Glassmaking

• Gold Gilding and Gold Leaf

Note that several of these uses are relatively new -- and growing.
