RE: A Story About Gold : The Gold Story Contest – Powered by Musagold.com & Steem
The story of King Midas is a well-known one. It's logical to think that money, or purchasing power, is everything, but that's not always the case. Of course, we can't deny that having gold in large quantities will provide the economic stability we all seek, but there are things that money can't buy, and that's the whole point of the pursuit of happiness.
In general, we tend to think of gold for its financial value or as a way to keep our money safe, but despite this, the use of this metal today goes far beyond that, as you've shown. A few days ago, I read about the use of gold nanoparticles to combat some bacteria. The trick is that it must be done in tiny quantities, because otherwise, it can be toxic to the human body, which is why it's not used routinely. Thank you @dovve11 for participating in the contest.
I have been watching the gold story since I was a 10 year old and its rate was almost 300 times lesser. My parents used to say the rate of gold was $2 at today's dollar rate at the time of their marriage. Gold is almost out of the dentists' list as it looks odd as well not good for lasting long. However, the gold remains as the solid most backup not for only individuals but for countries also.
I don't think even the costliest metals will replace gold as solid collateral therefore everyone is after the gold. Thanks a lot for your kind visit and a lovely remark.
