People who buy gold are silly

If gold is such a great investment why would they sell it to you?
You think that perhaps it's some mutually beneficial transaction where they want to live for today and you want to live for the future

No. Gold is only valuable as a conductor. Don't be naive

Gold is valuable for more than just a conductor, it has industrial uses in addition.

It is a finite resource with clear uses, as opposed to crypto currencies or indeed the currencies of nations which can be devalued at any time.

It may not be a perfect investment but it is a rational one in inflationary times, just as any resource will be compared to holding cash.

@meJess niche application that nobody cares about. It's like saying fish skin is valuable

@Jackaloftheazuresand the computer you’re using has gold in it, so do smart weapons. When the weapons come out they don’t work without gold 😊

@meJess Because of its conductivity...

I'm not sure you grasp the situation if you think the kind of weapons raiders use are "smart weapons"

@Jackaloftheazuresand I don’t think you grasp reality if you think house breakers will negate your need for investment for retirement

A breakdown in society on the other hand, affects all investments not just gold.
