There is a difference between least useful ( in industrial applications) and unuseful. Most bought gold for the sentiment value or blinded by greed.
Really?
History shows otherwise. Gold has been recognised as money for eons.
Most buy it nowadays for jewellery or invest in it for lack of confidence in psseudo money called fiat.
And history has shown that the bankers will manipulate fiat to the detriment of the people.
Think it's the fiat proponents who are Greedy.
i bought gold in 2002 as US was pump priming like mad, and greedy bankers selling crap in the markets called CDOs junk.
Now you hear that banks are straining at the seems. aka Deutsche
Economics is a cycle. The greedy play it up till it burst and the people are left to hold the bag. No difference in history.
Human Greed does not change. Just takes different forms
