I still want to know WHY IS GOLD VALUABLE? When in time? Why? As I stated “it is only physically purty” nothing more. Makes no logical sense, to me at least, to “barter and trade” with something that truly has “ no value”Gold has a history of being reliable money for over 6000 years. It is to be accumulated only after all other preparations are made....or if one can afford it, used as a life insurance policy on your fiat currency savings.
The characteristics of real money are durability, portability, divisibility, uniformity, limited supply, and acceptability.
