Say the room temp superconductor (LK-99) is real, it would then replace gold's usage in electronics. (or at least drastically reduce it)

Without its industrial usage, gold's status as a store of value would be dependent on.. what? 😳

Obviously gold would still be demanded in jewelry & medicine.

But would those two be enough to maintain its status as a wealth preserving asset?

Would its status be replaced by another metal? Maybe by the one used in the superconductor itself (copper)

Any updates on this?
