well that's a known risk

but most other stores of value require constant costs

any dividends or profits or stocks are taxed, and easily traced (not to mention stocks are highly volatile)
land and real estate require property tax every year. real estate requires maintenance so it doesn't fall apart, even if no one lives there.

gold's appeal (and silver too) is it's one time payment and you just keep it. no more taxes, no maintenance. it says there like the lump of metal it is.
