May 6 -- Gold broke the $1300-an-ounce barrier in May for the first time since January 2015. What drives the price of Gold? This Bloomberg QuickTake tackles ...
+Xtraderr Many seem to think gold has a lot of uses and is like oil, even though it's mostly just used for jewelry and has very little practical application.
Gold is so stupid. It honestly doesn't do anything productive beside being
highly unreactive. We spend so much money digging it from the ground only
to hide it in vaults. Humans value the strangest things.
+Anthony Nguyen you are stupid because if you don't use gold as money then what'd you use for money? you rather give the bankers the power to create debt which is your money so can't be more retarded than that lmao.money=debt lol that's not stupid at all that's "modern" make all the idiots pay the interest to me...
Gold is a far better conductor than copper that recently discovered that would improve battery efficient by a massive 400 times, there is not enough gold that's why it is so expensive.
+Alan SnackbarYou can shop for food with gold? cool.Farmland is a much better investment, it actually has many practical applications and since the population will keep on growing, is guaranteed to be of value.Gold isn't, if Indians decided they don't like gold jewelry anymore, the price would plummet.Gold investing scams are always surfacing during low growth times, then when gold loses value for a decade people forget it.
your question is flawed. it is neither pointless or priceless. fiat ponzi
scheme currency has a life cycle between 30-40yrs. gold has been constant
for 1000s of years.
+BruceBlitzHasTitsPrices go up simply because there are more consumers every day and resources are limited.I do think that the whole "inflation is good" attitude is terrible though. Let currencies deflate.
+BruceBlitzHasTitsUSD? GBP? The inflation is really very low, you have selective memory as do most people (myself included). We only notice when prices go up.
+infiltr80r i currently witness my currency devalued every day before my eyes! i see prices going up everywhere in all sectors. the reason things cost more is because the purchasing power of the fiat goes down.the reason it keeps going down is because it is printed into infinity. thats why i transfer my fiat ponzi paper into physical.
+BruceBlitzHasTitsYes, the sun also implodes eventually.I've witnessed 2 fiat reforms/changes in my relatively short lifetime, in neither case your money became worthless nor was devalued.If you really believe your country will face a war where everything is destroyed then I suggest you move ASAP and not wait.
+infiltr80r now compare that period of time to where we are at in our fiat life cycle today. remember ALL fiat currencies die. look at the fiat life cycle.
+BruceBlitzHasTits yes lol funniest when they keep saying that gold needs faith lmao but their debt money doesn't need faith? wtf gold exists forever so it requires zero faith lol their debt system is based on faith only lolso they are constantly trolling the opposite I can't understand how people are not outraged by these idiotic propaganda trolls..
+BruceBlitzHasTits Not to mention gold is used as a conductor in all computer chips so even if humans decided to use something else as a currency tomorrow it'd still have some value behind it
