Maybe the author thinks it is easier to steal or harder to secure bitcoin than gold. I think it is sort of nuanced and could go either way, but I would agree that bitcoin is easier to store: especially with a trusted multisig setup.

Bitcoin owners have a lot of cheap security options based on their spending habits risk model.

Harvesting and storage of a naturally occurring element is lower maintenance in theory. It is easily stored a thousand years ago and a thousand years from now, even if some global catastrophic event occurred that renders modern technology useless.

Yeah, I stopped taking the author seriously after this ridiculous statement.
