doofrat, sure.. but look at gold over the last 1000 or 2000 years.. or however long it’s been used..
Maybe we’ll have a magnetic pole reversal on earth and gold will turn into mashed potatos.. but in the meantime, I’m comfortable with ‘storing value’ in something that is accepted worldwide and has value actual value apart from a promise.. plus, with gold you don’t really have to worry about counterfeit, since it costs more money to create than the gold than it’s worth.. unlike paper, which is probably relatively pretty easy and cheap to counterfeit.
Plus.. if anything else, I can have some prety cool earings 🙂
