I hate gold. It is a relatively useless metal that comes at great environmental cost, with an over-inflated value driven by war and insecurity.

- daniel-cussen 14y agoIt's also recycling's greatest success story. Think of that. While other resources are consumed, gold isn't, and it's far from useless. It's simply more useful, at the price, at being a store of value.
- masklinn 14y ago> It is a relatively useless metal Historically anyway, it's a very useful metal in the modern world (though its intrinsic value and its market price are completely unrelated)
- vacri 14y agoBy 'relatively useless' do you mean 'historically useful because it was a way to store tokens of wealth in a way that didn't decay/corrode'? And as mentioned already, there's plenty of uses for it in the modern world.
