Is gold actually worth something though? Most of it’s value is also just because it lasts a long time and we all think it is valuable. And I disagree that things have gotten worse only since Nixon

Sorry if I implied the world in general has only gotten worse since then. I was referring to the money supply and its consequences.

Why do you say “most”?

Gold has some value from use in corrosion resistant cables, contacts, or telescopes, but it’s mostly just an agreed upon store of value like any other currency
