<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 25750095, member: 43872"]Actually, gold is quite useful in a number of areas, especially in electronics. Every electronic device you own, even flash drives, have a little. According to an article from the BBC, the typical iPhone has .034g of gold, .34g silver, .015g palladium, less than .00g platinum, and around 25g aluminum. Very small, but not insignificant when you consider all the electronic devices out there. However, you are right overall, because the vast majority of the price of gold is and always has been the imaginary value that people believe it has. Like bitcoin and paper dollars, it is worth what somebody believes he or she will receive for it at a later date from someone else. If enough people believe the value will go up or down in the future, it will. The advantage of gold is that people have held a belief in it for thousands of years, plus, if all else fails, you can make a prettier nose ring out of it than you can paper or bitcoin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
