  Nonsense. Gold has many uses other then used as currency or for speculation.

    If you account for the damage to the environment mining gold causes its value is actually negative

      I don't think you appreciate the use of gold. For one, every chip is using it. Would we better off without semiconductors in exchange for a few less mercury ponds?

    I wonder if gold being useful in semiconductor design influenced the Greeks in adopting it as a currency. Maybe they just used it because it was portable, fungible, and scarce?
