i do remmeber reading that book, SALT that came out a while back, about the value of salt. salt was big business. the derivation of the word salary cmes from salt i think. worth his salt. yes, salt was big. I’m glad i didnt go long salt. well, nothing has any intrinsic value. gold is as good an arbitrary point for storing value as anything else. it doesn’t deterirotate, it can’t be rezoned, burnt down, it has no liabilities attached to it. it just is.
