unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 09/03/2012 11:32 pm Nod is essentially correct...the only intrinsic value that gold has is that it is good to make money out of....it lasts, is durable, and rare....all the qualities you would want to make money out of. That being said, it sounds a bit ironic that gold's only true value is that it can be used to represent value! Try wrapping your brain around that one! Report this Post to the Staff

Technically thats true but I would argue by now it has value itself just because its been used for 1000s of years and nations all over the world. Its true that its only value is because we say it has it, but at some point after so much time and so many different nations using it even before they had the ability to really interact with each other that it has value just because people always assign it that Report this Post to the Staff
SteveCaruso Pillar of the Community United States 1796 Posts	Posted 09/04/2012 01:15 am There is also something about silver and gold. There's something about it that draws you to it. When you hold it in your hands, you really feel it. (Probably because they're some of the best conductors of heat and electricity there are.) In any case, aye, the only kind of 'gold' you can eat are foil-wrapped chocolate coins. Give me 100 acres of wooded land with a view of the mountains and I'll show you real wealth. :-) Report this Post to the Staff
