I don't mean to desparage the metal, it is still a valuable commodity but not a vital physical aspect of most functional economic models. Oil, on the other hand, can be measured in terms of a definite economic output. Especially in US economy for which most depend on their own 2 gallons or so each morning to get up and participate in traffic.

<<if its irrelevant, why are there any gold mines left ? >> Everyone understands, of course, this was the end goal, & "they" lost! It was their greatest desire for every investor in the free world to dismiss or question the value of gold & every mine to close prior to the next run. Can you imagine picking up AU for not $24-30 a share, but rather at a few pennies? Can you even guess at buying (the currently larger than before) ABX,NEM, & HM at bankruptcy prices without anything going to the holders of common stock? This was the goal.
