Speaking of GOLD, have anyone here in SBF every question this?
WHY IS GOLD always taken as a benchmark for value? Why is this commodity taken as a standard of measurement of value?
Don't you think this is interesting... up till now, I am not able to get a satisfactory answer to this...
Here is my TAKE, assuming worst case scenario of all paper currency going bust... when there are shortage of everything, you can still use GOLD to exchange for food, weapons, safe passage, water, etc...
and the question is, WHY? WHY GOLD is taken as a fallback standard measurement value...
