ok, moron... i'm gonna make this simple for your small mind. I'm gonna leave out the other properties which have made gold money since time began and focus on one. There's only so much gold on the planet. the maount is fixed: that which is still in the ground and that which has been dug up over the centuries. Gold is scarce when compared to other elements. That's why we don't drink Pepsi from gold cans. However, we do wipe our arses w/ paper products because it is in vast abundance. Gold's position as a store of value has nothing to do w/ the cost to mine it even though that does obviously affect its price and is a function of its scarcity. you missed the entire point! you ARE dumber than i thought... geeze!!! i can't even believe i'm having to explain such an elementary concept... it like talking to a brick wall... go bother MB..
