<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 1634288, member: 6370&quot;]Excuse my long winded posts but I think I can sum up my point more succinctly. </p><p><br /></p><p>Let us accept that the natural properties of precious metals makes them ideal to be used as a measure of wealth. This simply means they are a good choice to serve as a medium of exchange, an object we can place perceived value upon, no different than a piece of paper but just much more durable. People are not buying and selling gold for the same reasons they buy and sell oil and other resources. In essence its value is fiat, like a dollar bill, just more durable. I would agree that silver is durable and paper can be burned and ripped but the real worth of a piece of paper with the right stamp on it is not that its physical properties make it ideal for printing any more than gold and silver derive their high value simply because their physical properties make them hard to destroy.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not have an agenda but I am offering to dispose of all that worthless gold for you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
