It was the only metal you could mine with out processing, was able to work with out melting/heating.
It would not corrode and could be alloyed to be stronger very easily.
Gold is a very good conductor of electricity, is very corrosion resistant, reflects nearly 100% when polished, and can be made very very thin.
All reasons the James Webb Telescope used 48 oz on its reflector and another 2 inside.
It also blocks radiation as well as lead.
There are a lot of industrial uses, but it’s cost makes lesser material a better choice.

I will buy both Bitcoin and metals. (and copper jacketed lead)
Went to the used book store “The Bookmark” in El Paso today.
Managed to escape with only five books to add to my To Be Read (TBR) pile. Isaac Asimov, David Drake, Allen Dean Foster, Charles Stross, and Eric Flint.
One hard back and four paperbacks for $10 fiat (about 3.7 million sats)

Pork chops, steamed broccoli, cheese melted over both.
Walmart has started carrying a sugar free “great value” store brand that is sugar free. Mild taste, not great not bad. But you need to eat it in a few days of opening.
A good show. Makes a great point that it does not matter how much 5 milion sats are in dollars, it’s 5 million! #FlirtingWithBitcoin #FlirtingWithBitcoinClips #Hiccups (you can get Fountain podcast app here: https://fountain.fm/topwkone?code=e1ff643df0 )

A Debt thought with a short term fix.
See, the gold held by the U.S. Treasury is still officially valued at a $42.22 an ounce, a relic of the 1970s. Yellen could ring up Fed chair Powell today and revalue it at the spot price of $2,012.
That would pull $550 billion of new spending power out of thin air — without issuing any debt.

Looks interesting I’ll give it a try.
When I got for runs I use Under Armor’s Map my run app.
My wife likes “StepsApp” but I’ve never used it. Mostly because I don’t track steps just miles run.
