Human society is a dynamic information system with emergent organisation - money is essentially a concept substrate for information. The material of that substrate is important. If you throw enough time and societal complexity at any point on the globe in any time in history for any civilisation capable of building a 2 story building they've all ended up using gold and silver. Why? If you actually go through the periodic table it makes perfect sense why they were the only candidates (copper included).

Fiat paper systems have existed and alternative substrates however they never last too long as civilisations because of the potential to abuse the money supply. It's why the US is slowly turning into shit before your very eyes. Will crypto replace gold? I think it'll be a fucking improvement over paper and centralised ledgers.

However at the base of it, if you just want money in it's pure, physical, indestructable form: Nothing on this planet at least can fuck with gold. The only reason you question it's value is because it's the purest point - the base of the inverted money pyramid where you can actually see the nature of the philosophical question: What is the value of money?

Lets use our collective autism to solve this riddle and find 2 million dollars of gold and other shit buried by this dude /biz/.
