>Buh, but been used as currency for thousands of years
Is it being used like that now? When was the last time you tried to make a purchase using a gold coin, or a gold earring? No no. I'll wait
>But the money we all use is backed by gold
Is it though? Really? Have you tried taking your money to a local bank and exchanging it for gold? Give it a go, let me know how that works out for you.
>But it's used in electronics
Yeah. In minuscule amounts maybe. And so what about that? Silver is a better vessel as it relates to electric conductivity, but silver slightly tarnishes whereas gold does not. That's the only reason.
>But you can buy stock in Gold on the NYSE
Is it real? Can you really buy it? And lets say you did, and you saw that the market was about to crash, what if you wanted to exchange your stock in gold for actual gold? Would you get it?
>But you can use it to barter in a SHTF scenario
Good luck with that user. I for one am not trading you my - Ammo, Weapons, Knives, Food, Medicine, Alcohol, Coffee, Tobacco, Water or Supplies for your goofy stupid shiny (nigger tier) rock.
