why is gold valuable?

[Tayasaurus]

Gold has proven itself to be a standard for thousands of years and probably will for thousands of more to come. Just because the value doesn't fluctuate does that mean its a bad investment. If something bad happens its a great bugout tool for an economy trying to recover.

there's about $2 worth of gold in every computer

quick google search shows values ranging from $1 to $30 depending on device. seems like laptops have the most?

the issue is its used in miniscule amounts as wiring and such. to extract it would involve either an expensive process, or a hazardous and pollution-creating one. theres places in africa where they do this second method on e waste at the cost of health and environment.
