There is gold in that...erm...err...gold...

People need to stop thinking about gold as gold and think of it as what it is, another currency. One that no single government controls and no one can print more of it.

It just happens to be gold as gold is relatively scarce, cannot easily be made artificially, takes time and money to "mint" and does not degrade.

Humans need a currency to represent wealth and buying power that is not subject to "quantitative easing".

Gold doesn't go up, paper money goes down.

Indeed, that's why I am wearing a 4 kg chunky gold chain round my neck.

Looks like the Pound is taking another pounding today, even against other fiat rapidly inflating currencies.
