People often advocating that gold has intrinsic value. It's not true, let me explain:

If there's a natural disaster and You live off the land with technology, what can You do with the item You have?

That's called intrinsic value.

If You can eat it, it has intrinsic value.

If You can wear it, it has intrinsic value.

If You can shelter yourself with it, it has intrinsic value.

If You can defend yourself with it, it has intrinsic value.

By the definition of the word 'intrinsic' means naturally occurring and having a natural utilization.

Gold doesn't have that, it's a mind control trick that they make people fall for. 😉
