Except gold has huge intrinsic value because it’s not that common and exceedingly useful.
Diamonds, diamonds are the scam that seems to be implied here.
Absolutely but most of its value is due to it being rare…. And shiny. The industrial uses were just a bonus we worked out later. In the early days it was valuable simply because we all told ourselves it was worth a certain amount of chickens.
