The Distinct Disadvantages of Gold
We see them everywhere, everyone trying to endorse Gold. Telling you that Gold is the most luxurious product there is, and you would be better off buying them. It is highly marketed and endorsed in the economy, and it is widely used between rich men as a trading medium. Banks hoards most of the world's gold because of its value. We read a lot of articles online in which they say that gold is actually better than silver and lists down all of its uses and how it would benefit you if you invested in it.
However, have you ever thought out of the box? Have you ever thought that these articles were written by people or entrepreneurs trying to feed of your curiosity and ignorance so that they would be able to sell gold and silver to you? If you haven't, then you should. It would pay to think out of the box.
Speaking of thinking out of the box, let's say something happens in the near future? Have you watched the movie 2012? Yes. Let us try to imagine something like that happens to the world. Mass hysteria, panic, poverty, and all kinds of disaster and trouble happen. And the world as we knew it is now just a shadow of its former self. Of course, it won't happen by a long shot but it will happen. Sooner or later, something like this will definitely happen. Picture that you see someone who is really cold and hungry. He sees that you have food and a blanket with you, would you trade it with him if he gave you something like, let's say two ounces of pure gold?
Let's face it; gold was born not out of necessity but out of luxury. Its value is only what we make it. The sky is not the limit for its value. If the demand for it was lesser, then its value will eventually decrease throughout a period of time. In a society wherein luxury isn't a priority anymore and that what is most important are things that help us survive, would you think that someone would even bother of that huge chunk of gold that banks have hoarded throughout the years?
We cannot deny the fact that we value gold not because we need it, but rather, we are enticed by it. Gold is such a lustrous product that people are often lured and tempted into buying things made out of it. It is a sign of prestige and honor. One who wears gold is often seen as someone powerful and rich. It is a sign of status. Because of its value, it is demand because we humans demand the most expensive that money can buy. We cannot argue that as humans, we want the best and most expensive that money can offer. Gold is on the top of that very expensive list, alongside diamond and other expensive jewels and stones. Aside from that, what are the other uses of Gold? How exactly would it benefit you in a way that it won't cost you much? Think. Take time to contemplate about yourself. Remember that the value of Gold is only what we make it, something that we base upon the economy.
