<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steve Shupe, post: 8206983, member: 114551&quot;]Gold is one of the only metals that can be found in a natural state (not oxidized). Most all other metals oxidize and thus can look different in a natural state when found or dug out of the earth and must be processed to become pretty. When humans found that they could find it, shape it and melt it, it became desirable. Colored stones were also valuable because they were pretty. Oooh shiny! I want it!&nbsp; It has been valuable to humans for more than 5000 years. Something that retains a desirability for that long must be considered a good long-term investment as based on history, so it should continue to hold a value during our lifetimes. Nope it is not Tulip bulbs or bitcoin, but I think that is a good thing! It is nice to have something that can be relied on as lasting....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
