Author Topic: why is gold valuable? (Read 2516 times)

Incorrect, it wouldn't be valuable because despite the collision being in the ocean, the tsunamis that would ensure after the collision would kill nearly everyone, and then the earthquakes and mega volcanic explosions would kill everyone else.

Gold can't be valuable if no one is around to value it.
