Disliked{quote} Nothing inherently gives it the value....at some point way back in human history someone picked it to be valuable. The rest is passed down socially. imo.Ignored
That is one of the reasons I suspect DNA imprint Because as we know societal norms have/d rather good "volatility" but the GOLD is constant... among other FEW constants, yeah we know what we are talking about But let me give you this experience... I was at my time, influenced by the SILVER jewellery hype or even it's "powers... but I was VERT disappointed when I found my necklace GRAY... I was completely shocked that I have to maintain necklace.. and not so rarely.. Yeah I didn't get the PUREST silver necklace, but still... Completely rejected the SILVER jewellery.. since I didn't even think about maintaining it, coming from gold... So only GOLD for me, but as many of you, I prefer subtle/stealth wealth so maybe WHITE gold also... But then the thing is that some watch maker (you can guess which, won't promote it, if it needs (more) promotion at all perfected the stainless steel so much that many say that it is better looking than white gold
To sum up... Gold just seem to be the most optimal deal.. that you can WEAR, convert, hide, anonymise etc... whatever... You can even time travel anywhere and buy yourself anything with it Just to illustrate the point
Can you afford to take that chance?
