However, if someone is filming you on camera and is making a pitch, chances are it isn’t a scam but rather an experiment.

Or to make fun of how gullible you are on youtube…

But I don’t think that was the point of the video.

True it wasn’t.. it was trying to figure out how many people are aware of the current price of gold.. If you noticed, he said that maybe he should of done the experiment in his backyard where people are less aware of the current price of gold. I think he salvaged some of it by cutting out where he asked people what the price of gold was. Unfortunately he asked the question in terms of buying what might have been a $50 gold coin for $50, or maybe the coin was a fake.. instead of trying to find what the current value of gold is.

In reality, gold is not ‘real money’ either. It has its own value that changes relatively to other commodities. There is also platinum, silver, oil.. all which can be exchanged for gold or dollars, euros.. at continually changing exchange rates.
