I think gold has a less inherent value than some other materials on earth. If we are going to base currency on things that come from earth, why gold? Monetary systems are just as much a fabrication when they are based on gold as they are when they are based on Mexican monarch butterfly wings or the output of a sawyer cutting red oak into planks.
t grams of butterfly wings =
u ounces of gold =
v hours sawing oak =
w yen =
x yuan =
y lira =
z euros.....
Besides, are you just wanting us all to run out and buy gold so that we drive the price up for you?
