Electronics are a new thing, for most of history it was primarily used as money. I also don't think the majority of it's value comes from jewelry.

- Edmond 13y agoIt was used as money because of its ornamental value and it derived its ornamental value from its inherent properties, for instance the fact that it doesn't perish,rust or degrade. A cursory read of history would show that jewelry/ornaments are huge factor in the historical value of gold.
