Or gold, or dollars, or art, etc.

  Gold has a use, dollars are backed by a government. Owning original art is bragging/speculation. I read that the very expensive art that people buy isn't even hung on their walls to look at, they get a copy made for people to see, and put the original in a vault.

    > Gold has a use But I won't be happy if people stop buying gold and all I can do with it is sell it to some electronics manufacturer for 1% of the price I paid for it. > dollars are backed by a government Sounds great, what can I do if people stop accepting dollars in trade? > Owning original art is bragging/speculation. Agreed, so nothing new.
