I was thinking about gold and why it's valuable. I get it, "dollar will collapse, gold is always valuable," but WHY?
And then I was thinking about the ancient civilizations, the ones pre-flood that were most likely highly advanced.. The ones that most likely were able to tap into frequencies, magnetic fields, and had advanced techniques that was lost to man. Techniques that men like Tesla eventually rediscovered, but cabal agents came and told them away (hence Epstein trolling around MIT, but that's a different topic).
I'm wondering if gold was used as a method to tapping into the power sources in the ancient world. Like, it more efficiently stabilized frequencies and made power a constant in the ancient ancient world. Who knows, I'm riffing here.
We know gold has unique properties when compared to the elements, and we know it's already used in electronics, electrical wiring, dentistry, medicine, and radiation shielding. Perhaps the ancient world harvested it as it expanded their power, and then the Flood hit, people lost the technology, but remembered gols: "it's valuable because our forefathers knew it was valuable, and maybe we'll tap into that so let's keep gathering more gold."
Maybe word-of-mouth and generational story telling eventually forgot how to leverage gold for energy, and it became a relic of the past, still valuable, but the inherent reason was lost.
Gold is highly malleable, electrically conductive and corrosion resistant.
While it's true that societal consensus plays a role, the value of gold as money is deeply ingrained for more concrete reasons. It is because gold is the element on the periodic table that best satisfies the requirements of the seven key attributes of money. Attributes of Money
Durability: Gold is highly resistant to corrosion and decay, making it enduring as a store of value.
Divisibility: Gold can be easily divided into smaller units without losing its value, facilitating transactions of varying sizes.
Fungibility: All pure gold is essentially the same, ensuring uniformity and interchangeability.
Portability: Gold's high value-to-weight ratio allows for easy transport and storage of wealth.
Recognizability: Its distinctive appearance and widespread recognition make gold easy to identify.
Limited Supply: Gold's scarcity, mined over millennia, maintains its value over time.
Acceptability: Across cultures and centuries, gold has been universally accepted as a medium of exchange. It's color is unique, and it is resistant to fraud and counterfeiting
Obviously, I never took Economics 101. I'm going to have to go look up the difference between money and currency now.
