    Which means that it’s deflationary against euro or usd. Also “there’s a limited amount of it, the difficulty to mine it goes up as there’s more of it”. So according to your definition gold is a scam. I wonder who is going to pull the rug on it.

      Wrong. Which means it’s stable, and the USD and EURO are inflationary. That’s why gold is gold. That’s why it’s a staple stock. Because it’s stable against everything that those currencies buy. It will basically, always be worth the same amount as it was 1000 years ago. Gold is the reference of a “stable” value. In the example I made, 1 gram of gold 200 years ago buys the same amount as 1 gram of gold today. That’s exactly how gold works. That’s why economies use it as a measuring stick of their own currency.
