I heard someone on a podcast recently reflect on something similar. But he pointed to a major difference, that being: Gold bugs tend to be very pessimistic about the future whereas bitcoiners tend to be optimistic.
I know it doesn't behoove to speak in generalities but I liked this nevertheless

Gold bugs tend to be very pessimistic about the future whereas bitcoiners tend to be optimistic.
Hmm, this makes a lot of sense.
Both groups see the unsustainability of the current financial environment.
Gold bugs think that requires us to move backwards, to an older technology. Bitcoiners think we can move forwards, to a newer technology.
It makes sense why one group is more optimistic and the other more pessimistic.
