Gold has practical value. It's used in electronics. But you're right about diamonds. Aside from their hardness they have no real value.

Not really, the both debeers made up stuff. debeers.com, the made monesized some mines and capitalized on them. Gold was made up as some kind of currency that didn't have any inherent value, it's all media shit.

Platinum and palladium are better, the value of gold is simply made up media shit.

The value of everything is made up; based on perception.

Have you seen a yeezys? No one would pay more than $50 for that were it not for the brand.

Coming to the food business, chicken wings were considered unusable until a few decades ago and no one would eat them; yet now they are popular and expensive.

Palladium is more expensive than gold by weight. Aside from that, their use cases don't 100% overlap and you would likely find a combination of silver, gold, and palladium if you took your phone or computer or phone down to the components.
