In the future, gold is not used as a monetary metal at all.

But, it is still a shiny, non-corroding, pretty yellow metal.

And further in the future, it will be really easy to go get some. So, only worth a days effort.

But, in the middle, between now and then, gold will probably be extremely expensive.

I am unsure if that is being a maxi?
Also, i believe that bitcoin is only the first step in getting to real money.
