    Ok true, but gold has been valuable since the BCE, even when survival was the main priority and a much bigger concern than it is for a large amount of people today. I think humans are gonna see gold as valuable even in the worst of circumstances.

      Yeah, it’s not “how much you think gold is worth” but more “how much do you think other people think gold is worth”. And unless there’s a world-ending event it’s not a bad place to park some money.

      This is all giving very “I’m 40 but I thought I would kill myself by 30” vibes.
