Leo White

Jackson Russell
Its in our DNA, The annunaki mixed their DNA with homo erectus to create humans who would mine gold for them so their planet would remain inhabitable
Ayden Cooper
It's shiny. If only we had a leader made out of gold…
Juan Hughes
>his country is goldlet
shiggy diggy
Samuel Sanchez
it's heavy and beautiful.

I think that It was only valuable in the Mediterranean so merchants would go to other places and buy it for nothing to resell. People noticed and now it's valuable because other people bought it for high price
Joseph Clark
true
Camden Wilson
Because it doesn't rust.
Brandon Nelson
In Trad. Chinese Culture Gold was second to Silver, and both are below Jade.
Eli Jones
A couple reasons
>shiny
>very little of it exists so it's extremely hard to devalue
>prior to us discovering its conductivity, it wasn't really good for anything other that use as a currency

Humanity loved shint stuff from the day a random Grug found a shiny pretty rock and started showing it to all his caveman friends. And gold is VERY pretty and shiny. And veru valuable.
Cooper Gonzalez
It's basically a scam. What rich people did was become too lazy to do anything like farming and you obviously can't store a thousands different resources in bank vaults so you trick the merchants and peasants into thinking gold is valuable and when you control the gold mines you can basically just take whatever you want from people
Owen Scott
Indian women own an estimated 25% of the worlds gold, almost all of it is unaccounted for
Indians are literally addicted
Justin Reyes
>only 244,000 metric tons of gold have been excavated in all of human history
>it's estimated theres only about 56,000 metric tons left to dig up
That's why it's both valuable and stable, inflation us all but impossible
Jason Hernandez
Yes, a value agreed apon, its even more ridiculous with diamonds.
Bentley Powell

Thomas Adams

iron,copper and aluminum are probably more useful
Evan Cooper

there is no feeling in the world quite like holding a gold bar
Grayson King
It’s not useful. That’s the point, gold and silver aren’t useful metals practically but they are actually super useful in measuring abstract value aka wealth
Have you read the book Sapiens? It’s written by one of your countrymen, he explains gold very well
Julian Smith
>gold and silver aren’t useful metals practically
They absolutely are in electronics.
Lucas Taylor
Gold is very useful for electronics since it's an excellent electricity conductor, and it's also used in the aerospace industry
