Legendary investor Warren Buffett said of gold: "(It) gets dug out of the ground in Africa or someplace. Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again, and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head."

Your violence doesn't matter as much as everyone's. That's why the idea of land ownership is really an illusion. The military occupies the land and your use of it is delegated from them. IMO it made more sense in monarchies to just say the king owns it all, at least they weren't lying then.

Fixed supply, which is actually essential for true currency. The issue that Buffet has, likely because he is a two-faced piece of shit, is that he fails to recognize human nature within economics.

Kikes can't manifest gold out of thin air, can they? No, they can not. Their old alchemical bullshit is what got them killed and exiled from countless countries. They can't resist their nature, which is parasitic.

The value of gold is that it can not be replicated. Same as Bitcoin. Kikes fear a return to this style of system because they have built generational wealth exploiting the fiat currency scheme. Buffet also built his wealth by gleefully joining the kikes in their endeavor to steal from the public.

Money is part of most economic transactions on the planet. Money is without a doubt the single most useful economic invention in human history. There is really nothing more useful than money in terms of frequency of use. And gold is the best money that has ever existed. Most of the civilized world has been in steady decline since the USA treacherously broke the gold standard. All other money (except silver) is a scam. Buffet made most of his fortune riding on the post-gold standard scam economy. So of course he doesn't like it.

Warren Buffett is a crook and a tax cheat. He does not want gold or any other tangible as a standard because he loves currency manipulation and the printing of unbacked money. It keeps his stocks up and gatekeeps the working class from becoming more entrepreneurial.
