Daddy issues.
Warrens father, Howard, was a 4 term Congressmen and good friends with Rothbard.
His father famously pushed gold and even wrote a book called: Human Freedom Rests on Gold Redeemable Money
Howard said his only criteria when voting for a bill was to decide "does this bill increase or decrease human freedom". He was a strong isolationist and was very against the us taking on the role of world policeman as he felt it "will eventually lead to domestic tyranny"

Warren is his fag son. Howard would no doubt hate the sniveling globalhomo that he turned out to be....

And here's one last thing to consider; Oil was only going to increase in value as it was limited in supply (peak oil) and its usefulness was only going to increase its price, making oil investment a great idea. THEN technology progressed and we started fracking oil like mad, and suddenly everyone's expected to leave all their oils (most of which are still traditionally extracted) in the ground or it becomes practically valueless.
Imagine what would happen if China or Russia or Canada started fracking.

What's going to happen in your grandchildren's time is that Elon Musk's grandchildren will open up the solar system, and oops there is gold in ridonkulous quantity in it, not to mention all the gold on Earth that's just too technologically challenging to reach. So gold, like oil in the next 5-10 years or sooner, loses practically all its value due to being common as dirt.
Which is what it is; really shiny atomically super-stable dirt.

Asteroid (6178) 1986 DA
>The asteroid achieved its most notable recognition when scientists revealed that it contained over "10,000 tons of gold and 100,000 tons of platinum", or an approximate value at the time of its discovery of "$90 billion for the gold and a cool trillion dollars for the platinum, plus loose change for the asteroid's 10 billion tons of iron and a billion tons of nickel."[10] In 2012 the estimated value of 100,000 tons of platinum was worth approximately five trillion US dollars. The delta-v for a spacecraft rendezvous with this asteroid from low earth orbit is 7.1 km/s.

This is the fracking in your granchildren's time, rendering gold's value down to not much.

I have a theory that Warren Buffet has average intellect. I wouldn't be surprised if he had literally 120 IQ, even when he was younger. Being good at investing =/= than being super smart.
As for the answer, Gold was used a lot in the past because it was used as an universal value equivalent, and also, because you could transfer easily a lot of value from a point A to a point B: it's light.

exactlty. its just some kind of weird holdover from historic fashion with maybe sometimes a long lost connection to some practical origins like that.

in the 70s, bell bottom jeans were all the rage and if you ddidnt wear them you were a weirdo, just like those huge oversized shirt collars around that time or so

then later they both are not so favourable and are a joke of fashion.

nowadays of course, ties are def just an accessory of classic formal business dress. i have no strong feeling for them one way or the other. and i find it odd but funny when people have such strong opinions or phobias of them
