where got its on 169 now?

this. its 80% true I think.

20% not true since theres still so many things we can do with gold and how the value may increase by itself. Even online currency like BTC have higher value than gold at one point...and we are talking about something with no physical value. Gold will find it way, as long as theres less people making stupid scheme with them.

Buy, and keep. and when you walk around meeting friends, if any of them getting married soon, offer them to customised the jewellery instead because you have your own bulk of 999 purity gold. should make you money. not much, but its money.

owning a chunk of 999 gold doesnt mean you need to keep them till the end of time in that particular shape. you can always cut some and make good use of it.
