no, both can be used for things and they are scarce. thats why they have a value.
Gold has very little use aside from jewelry. It can be and is used in electronics but does not provide significant enough advantages there to explain it's value. In most cases when you pay extra to buy some "Gold Edition" cable or however they market it, you are getting duped. Any advantages, if they exist at all, are not significant enough to matter.
It is horded more than utilized so Gold's value is just what you'll pay for it like anything else.
Haha Dude know your precious metals! Gold is a Super Conductor,
of course it has advantages over all those things you mentioned!
