Show it to me? All I see is numbers on a screen. Where's the gold to back it up. No? Then no trillionare.
lmao gold
Tbf, gold is mostly only valuable as a social construct like cash or the numbers on the screen.
As is anything with "value".
No. Food has inherent value. A tool has inherent value. Kindness has inherent value. Gold has value in its practical applications but it's dollar value is largely because it's pretty and kind of rare.
