“gold is a debt instrument, there is a lot of money borrowed against it.”

Which logically follows: Gold is not an accepted mean of transaction. Money is.

Why would someone borrow money and pay interest since it could just sell the gold for the money it needs.

“the fastest growing countries in the world are accumulating gold and now have more in total than the G-7 nations combined for the first time in history.”

It would be interesting to know what’s the fraction gold comprises on the reserves.
