You know, Just because those in charge say that Gold is worth $10,000 an ounce, or (whatever it is) doesn't make Gold any different than Bitcoin or Diamonds. It's only worth it because people pay it. It's just a soft pretty metal. If nobody gave a shit about it it wouldn't mean anything. Therefore it has an artificial value.
Example; if the world was hit with an imaginary Gold melting EMP type blast and ALL the Gold disappeared, then what? Worthless, just like Diamonds are JUST a pretty, hard Rock. Bitcoin is JUST a number. Only difference is that Gold is pretty and the Catholics can fill their churches with crosses and shit made with it, Queen too.
