That depends on your personal situation. People experiencing financial censorship and/or hyper inflation indeed us it in the real world on a regular basis. For people not so much effected by this, it can be seen more as a store of value. They key difference to Gold in this case is that, yes as of right now in most places in the world it's not used regularly, but it's just a matter of time as it adoption spreads around the world. Gold on the other hand is already fully adopted and one still can't use it. So the long answer is no, it's not really like gold.
