Why are some people so mindbroken by this shiny metal? Why has the acquisition and hoarding of it been the driving force of world history for the past 5000 years? It has no practical use or value at all. It is simply shiny and pretty. And yet whoever has the most of it is able to wield immense power and give orders to other people and their orders must be followed simply because they possess more shiny things than others.

I'm starting to believe more and more in the theory that the Annunaki engineered our species to mine gold. It's the only explanation that even comes close to making sense.

What do you think your electronics are made of retard

>>546210927
The scientific and technological uses for gold weren't known until like 50 years ago. This still also doesn't give gold an intrinsic value to even remotely justify its level of power and importance.
>>
>>546210882
It's literally a magic rock and had extreme value and practical applications, which is becoming increasingly more obvious. If you have even remotely any faity in AI/all future unknown tech, magic rocks are very VERY obviously what you should be investing in and owning. Not jewish toilet paper, not tech company """stocks""", not fake hype vaporware, not jeet CEOs. Literal magic rocks. That you can own physically and which are extremely rare and extremely finite.

If you don't get this you are literally retarded.
>>
>>546210882
it was a sort of arms race, call it gold race.
You were left out of global commerce if you didnt use gold. Kind of like the US dollar today.
Ofc jews had been accumulating it for centuries prior, then they shilled it to the civs for its convenience in trade.
Now every civ needed gold for trade, but not everyone can mine it. So they asked for loans.. you know the rest
>>
>>546210882
>It is simply shiny and pretty.
and humans are very vain, we put a lot of stock into beauty and rarity. something that makes people turn their head towards you is valuable because it makes you a topic.
>>
>>546210882
Its a natural finite resource. All the easy gold is gone. It has styling and real world purpose like bedazzling your shit and making things, like electronic pins and contacts. So in the future gold gets more expensive as the relatively small amount gets used in parts like wiring the CPU and GPU in the AI. Any time traveler recognizes the future value of a bit of gold.

now there is a inherent quality to money that cant be just printed into existence.
And that its infinite power of purchase.
Meaning the same gold bar can buy sweat and tears of countless lifetimes and still do it to this day.
The other thing that it allows by concentrating your productivity into a physical object, is for your wealth to be stolen.
If you want to steal land you need soldiers, brigands, bandits, or whatever, but someone is going to die.
But to steal gold you just need to be stealthy.
Entire generations of wealth were stolen in one heist, many many times, allowing people who's only ability was for thieving to become immensely powerful.
The thieves guild existed and this is what they did.
They naturally merged with moneylenders to form modern banking
>>
and lets not forget the most useful aspect of gold, which allowed jews to become rulers of your goyim ass. The ability to bribe!
Cant bribe with a mule, or chicken, or a piece of land. But gold! its the favorite tool of the briber. Small and discrete, nobody knew what happened

Have you wondered in the past (probably and rightfully not,) about why some men get autistcally obsessive over useless shit? That form of wealth worship is more of the same. In the distant past when those things had no practical use it had modelbtrain/funko/sports/pokemon card status. Immature minds crave novelty until they are normalized by death.
>>
>>546211031
A little bit over 100 years ago we didn't have plastics or aluminum, the only materials to make things out of were wood, copper, tin, lead, iron, clay and animal products. Gold by comparison to those shit materials might as well be descended from heaven.
>>
>>546210882
Because its shinyness blinds fools like you to its actual use: It is just a token representing power, no more innately valuable than a bit of paper or some data storing a crypto thingy.

They are fundamentally the same thing: Tokens, symbols representing your part of real power that you are owed.

It's why they drive conspiracy tards nuts, they obsess over the tokens as if they are magical.

is the only ctrl+f that has "corrode" in it.
it doesn't corrode in atmosphere.
even 400000 years ago they figured that out
combined with it's rarity it's entirely logical as a measure of wealth/resource for value since whatever amount you own will never go away or diminish
>>
>>546212770
All of human history had a feud between gold and government minted currency (basically useless tokens or in a modern sense digits on a screen)


There will always be individuals and governments that know innately that worthless government minted tokens or digits on a screen

By ancestors were highland Scots from the Isle of Skye. And before that they were Norwegians that settled during the Viking age. During the Viking age we hated government minted currency because we knew it was BS so we bought scrap gold and silver and when we wanted to buy stuff outside the taxed financial system we would smash a piece of jewelry with an axe and would trade a piece that we called “hack gold” and “hack silver”
>>
>>546210882
don't worry about it goy

you are superior because you don't fall for such stupid jewish tricks
>>
>>546213054
And in the Viking age the trade in hack gold and hack jewelry was hated. And now Norwegians are rich with their wildly successful sovereign wealth fund but they are civilized now and hack gold and silver is long gone and all their wealth is digital ones and zeros - fictions created somewhere out of nothing by a sovereign wealth fund.

I’m 100% like the Viking age users of hack -gold and hacksilver. Who cares whether it’s coins or rings or bracelets or broken necklaces. Gold is gold and silver is silver.

Why trust national fiat currencies that can be printed at will and spammed out indefinitely?

It's evolutionarily beneficial to like gold, and to be religious.

Very useful in electronics but too expensive to use in large scale.

central banks arent "hoarding it"
central banks started with gold, massive amount of golds. It wouldnt have been possible otherwise.
The arch nemesis of gold tards, central banks, were only possible because of gold.

The year is 2026
/pol/ still hasnt figured gold is at the heart of all our problems.

They worship the weapon themselves too.

Pic related is hacksilver - which was used in Scandinavia in the Viking age - and which the government hated because governments at that time wanted people using government minted fiat. People would literally hack apart gold and silver jewelry and use it for gray market untaxed transactions.

>>546213726
Which central bank? Mine doesn’t buy gold. Is your government really buying gold?

you are the retard. 90% of the worlds gold supply is in Rothschild hands. Has been since the XVIII century. You are trading with leftover scraps. You are dumb nigger cattle

and who do you think owns China, some ching chong? no , rothschild own their asses just as they do yours

You’re retarded. China forbids foreign influence totally. If rothschilds controlled china it would be full of fentanyl addiction, trannies, niggers, rap, degeneracy, pornography etc.

>The London Gold Fixing (or Gold Fix)[1] is the setting of the price of gold that takes place via a dedicated conference line. It was formerly held on the London premises of Nathan Mayer Rothschild & Sons by the members of The London Gold Market Fixing Ltd.
>On 12 September 1919 at 11:00 am, the five principal gold bullion traders and refiners of the day (N.M. Rothschild & Sons, Mocatta & Goldsmid, Pixley & Abell, Samuel Montagu & Co., and Sharps Wilkins) performed the first London gold fixing, thus becoming the five founding members.

wtf does that even mean? all elements can be counterfeited. we can make gold atoms. we can scale up the process of making gold through nuclear fusion.

yeah so is piss.

btw none of this justifies why gold is 3x more expensive than platinum despite platinum being much much rarer than gold and having pretty much all the properties of gold. the only reason is hype. and thats precisely what gold trannies refuse to acknowledge. their metal, while cool and interesting is nothing more than hype.
>>
>>546210882
It does not rust or degrade retard
>>
>>546214849
because you are a retarded nigger and dont know why and where silver and gold originate, why Rome banned alchemy, burned all their texts. Until napoleon pulled it out of a mummy and birthed nuclear physics. The gold is a conduit btw, the lead of saturn (uranium) is the value
>>
>>546211031
Retard.
Why is it used in electronics?
It doesn't corrode.
People want their wealth to not corrode.
Also easiest (non toxic) metals to cast since forever.
>>
>>546214812
and it was silver not gold kek
>>
>>546214849
You can't cast platinum
Also platinum was unknown until recently
Finally: you're gay

>>546215067
its likely more of a city of england ownership venture into the CCP more then anything now

>>546215097
okay tranny

>>546211384
And lasts forever with no corrosion nor tarnish. So it makes for a great asset that is not some other party's liability.
>>
>>546214849
this retard doesn't know what a stock to flow ratio is

>>546215001
It may not corrode, but its easier to steal your wealth.
Imagine this. You and your family work for generations on your farm.
Always trading work for shiny coin. Bury shiny coin in backyard.
Manage to amass great fortune in shiny coin.
Oh but you were being watched without knowing.
They know where you are hiding coin.
One day, coin is gone. Serves them right, they trusted the coin. Many such cases.
Now family must sell farm. There happens to be a man with the right coin for it and he's interested.
Lost your farm but got the coin back at least.
Surely your sons wont waste it or get it stolen in the future
>>
>>546215654
>There's no way somebody knows where i hide it.
Oh but your family does. Picture this scenario. One of your sons is tired of the farm life, he wants to go to the city.
But you wont let him cause you need him working there and you cant trust randoms.
Son gets mad at you one day, takes all the gold and runs away. That little thief!
Your wealth is gone.

Dont think it happened? way worse things have happened
>>
>>546214849
Silver corrodes, making it a really bad idea for electrical contacts

Platinum is not compatible with the human body. It acts as a catalyst denaturing proteins. Even wearing it on you skin for long times is not great.

Platinum is very difficult to forge actually. It is too hard and the melting point is very high. Only gold can be formed into the most delicate shapes.
Any material eventually accumulates some scratches. Unlike platinum or diamonds, gold can be made shiny again very easily.

>all elements can be counterfeited. we can make gold atoms
retard
>>
>>546214849
Oh yeah and platin looks shitty and boring.
>>
gold is real money and reserve currency, usd and everything else is toilet paper
