Bitcoin is not for these times directly, but for after. With gold, historically governments have tried to get a hold of it with draconic punishments if they found someone tried to hide it. With gold you are more in danger and you can't easily move it. Bitcoin is better, but certainly not optimal. Still, if you were to flee from your country, you might not be able to take gold or money with you, but for bitcoin it's much easier. So someone in government will think twice before putting heavy restrictions if they can easily be circumvented.
