Storing gold costs nothing but a little space which isn't an issue given how compact it is.

Oh good. I have a spare spot in my front yard to place it. Or maybe I'll just set it down on my dining room table.

Wait...I might want something more secure than that. And if I have a lot of gold I might need to pay people to protect it. These storage costs are going up.

Ridiculous. Gold takes very little space. No individual really has a lot of it where storage becomes a constraint. It is obvious when someone has an agenda against it.

You can fit millions of dollars worth of gold in a shoebox. Space is not an issue for any normal-person amount of wealth in gold.
