Well, Gold actually has uses in industry and is an actual tangible thing that people like- but I understand your point.
and yes, I know going back to a barter economy is basically impossible without something like an apocalyptic crash of society & civilization in general.
I think the issue is that gold is way overhyped. Its actual value is pretty low, even aluminium is more industry-critical than gold...
An issue with things in general these days is them being super over-hyped, lol.
Gold was overhyped before it was cool though, which makes it the most hipster of metals 😎
