Surprisingly, all the gold ever mined in human history could fit into a cube just 22 meters (72 feet) on each side.
According to the World Gold Council, approximately 212,582 tonnes of gold have been extracted, with nearly two-thirds of it mined since 1950.
Though widely used in jewelry, investments, and industrial applications, gold’s true value lies in its near-indestructibility—meaning almost all the gold ever mined still exists today.
It’s fascinating to think that despite its significance, all the world’s gold would occupy such a small space, making it all the more rare and valuable.
Even in a world where cryptocurrency is gaining popularity, gold still has its place. Should we lose the ability to gener8 electricity (WW3, catyclsim, "cosmic" events, &c.), gold still has its intrinsic value. We should own a bit of gold.
That scarcity and indestructibility is its USP.
That's why it's better to measure everything not in cubes, but in parrots, that way you'll get more :) !VSC
And that is one of the reasons why gold remains one of the metals that many people will not stop investing on
