<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1340204, member: 29012&quot;]I tend to be a bit hard headed when I think I&#039;m right <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> but that&#039;s something I need to work on. It&#039;s not that I&#039;m saying gold will always have a static value, rather that it can never have zero value. It will always have things inherent to it that are not subject to change. For an attribute to be intrinsic to something I feel it needs to be inherent regardless of what power structures are in place. Bread has intrinsic value as food, or maybe a comfortable seat were you to time travel with it. It&#039;s certainly possible that stocks will have value in the distant future if those companies manage to stick around, and if the financial markets we currently have are still intact, and if the governments we have today are still intact, and if people as a society are willing to place value on something that has no practical use. As a separate example, assuming that we are a not alone in the universe, say you were to travel to a distant galaxy to meet an unknown civilization. Which would you rather have? Intrinsic value implies that they would also put value on the same things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
