Gold by @goldenarms

Welcome friends, this post is just to reaffirm the fact that I love gold. I like to hold it, look at it and I've even got to admit I fantasize about it sometimes

There's an allure to gold that I can't explain, it's got powers that have transfixed man since it was first discovered in the ground.

Countless people have risked everything and lost it all in search of the yellow metal. Wars have been fought and entire nations have been destroyed over the element labeled AU with the atomic number 79

When I look at older coins I can't help but think about all the hands they've been through and what stories they could tell if they could talk?

Gold's been money and used in the exchange of goods since the history of man began. It's been revered, metioned and recorded in the oldest religious texts dating back thousands of years, before the 14th century BC infact.

Pharoahs have been buried in it and kings and queens have worn it to showcase their power.

Gold is indestructible. Fire, water and time can't destroy gold, gold is forever. It can be lost but eventually it will be found and guaranteed to preserve its value. There's nothing that's been trusted to give as much worth ever.

Gold is more than just a beautiful metal to be worn and shown off, it's more valuable than just a vehicle to be exchanged for goods, gold powers technology and makes advancement of our entire race possible. Everyday you probably benefit from gold in some form but may not even notice it..

So this post is dedicated to gold, an element produced by a supernova nucleosynthesis, which is the collision of neutron stars that showered the earth with gold dust during the creation of our planet. It's truly incredibly powerful stuff and its might can be felt and appreciated with a simple gaze.

I love gold
