Gold is just another commodity that is scarcer than most. Therein lies its value."

The point that John is trying to make is that if the system falls apart far enough, possession is 9 points of the law. And paper, or more likely electrons, have not as much value.

Now, I think that would be a rather extreme scenario. But not an impossible one.

Its very difficult to get gold, the metal. The best you can do is get the paper shares.
