Gold doesn't go poof but if a solar flare fucks up any and all electronics on earth you wish we would have gone poof.... Nearly everything we can think of has been automated in some way.

Both gold and Bitcoin can act as store of value although the latter is still volatile. This should decrease over time. When we are finally moving around in space you will appreciate your weightless store of value Cryptocurrencies/blockchain are also well suited to finally implement machine-machine transactions for IoT devices.
