<p>[QUOTE="Suarez, post: 4244380, member: 99239"]Well, that's not a terrible argument. If you're not willing to accept its uses as I've already mentioned then, yeah, you can't <i>do </i>a whole lot with gold. In this sense wouldn't it be the same with every other metal though? Why are you singling out gold specifically? </p><p><br /></p><p>Gold is ultimately an instrument for trading and for storing value (and looking good when worn). You could say that a case of Ramen noodles is infinitely more useful than a gold brick in some Mad Max-style apocalypctic scenario. However, you'd be making the assumption that ordinary people wouldn't be willing to trade you that gold brick for a whole lot more than Ramen. Can you realistically expect that to be the case?</p><p><br /></p><p>Rasiel[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
