Technology can and will innovate anything. It has innovated our methods of travel. It has innovated our food and water.
Certainly technology can innovate on Gold. Bitcoin is a supremely flexible store of value and performs to the efficiency and security of a Swiss (Army) bank.
Because obtaining Bitcoin is a
digital gold rush in a sense it only makes sense that the price will go up. People don't need to go mine or hunt for Gold - they can just secure it digitally, by purchasing it with Fiat currency, mining it or earning it.
Combined with all of the benefits in OP, Bitcoin is essentially an inflation proof store of value that is secure and anonymous.

Best of all it is legal!
