Gold is just a shiny yellow metal, nothing more, nothing less. It only has high value because we're still somewhat primitive. Cryptocurreny is da future, GG
thb gold as an material is really useful due to it's conductivity and other attributes, but yes, as a financial investment, i believe it to be a risky investment.

only predicted number of coins. I really don't see why would anyone invest in gold, it's just a matter of time when people will realize what they own is just like a piece of metal.
