    Seriously when people say gold is worthless, what a joke. There is very little of it, as you mentioned it doesn’t oxidize, it’s the metal used in microchips. It ain’t sea shells or tulip bulbs or Bitcoin, that’s for sure.

      I would agree for the case that we’re truly in end times where nobody has anything and people fight over scraps of food, that gold might be worthless.

      It’s still your best bet for all other scenarios that don’t involve you hiding in a cave and eating bugs.

        And even THEN, gold is a shiny, pretty metal that doesn’t oxidize like other shiny metals. So the tyrants of the apocalyptic wastelands will STILL want it for jewelry.

      Did I say it was worthless? It’s worth whatever people are willing to pay for it for its industrial purposes. That’s it.
