Actually, it is gold to the value of a pretty yellow rock. (not really to zero)

You only believe in the value of gold because so many others have believed in the value of gold.
In a time, in Europe, gold was very rare, and so was a good money.

But in South America, at the same time, gold was so plentiful it was used to make pretty things and cookware. Jade was the rare commodity.

The rots-children will try to rule over us by being the owners of all the gold, and in that, they will make a large portion of the people hate gold.
