NO, but gold, is just a piece of metal...I can print a bunch of coins with serial numbers on them and make them worth a certain amount...it's the same deal, finite amount etc...like bitcoins....gold is just a metal...it serves no purpose...only a fraction of it is used for tech, the rest is for show...
Thing of the past if you ask me...and it'll be forgotten once the price hits $200-400 where it should be IMO...
They're mining too much of it, too many scam miners need to go away
