Are you serious?

QCOM didn't exist 1000 years ago, and neither did you. Gold's value remained stable because it was seen and is seen as offering some sort of permanency, unlike enterprises, nations, paper, etc. It was a medium of exchange, not so whatever the equivalent of QCOM may have been back then which, in any event, ceased to exist eons ago, very much like QCOM will cease to exist in the next 50-75 years.

You lack historical perspective, a sense of time.

was not aware that qcom has been around 10 centuries, and am fairly sure qcom shall not be around for anywhere remotely as long as 1/20th the time

also, another bit of detailing, you forget the basics, that gold is money, not an asset-derived insecurity
