Why isn’t China coloured blue?
Compare gold to the other elements on the periodic table as a medium to store value and you’ll see why it is used for this task.
It is non toxic, it can be easily held and transported, it is non reactive (it won’t rust or combust), it is relatively rare, it is dense (a lot of gold fills a small space) and, well like others have said, it’s shiny. It can be easily moulded and forgotten about for millennia and still be the same way it was last used (look at Viking hordes as an example) few other things can do this, maybe diamonds? But they can not be recombined again like gold

Used to work in underground mining, every time there wasn’t enough light, I’d reach for my cap lamp on my head
We also used left hand drive cars in a right hand drive country and when I went home I’d get in the wrong side of the car

The first to lose world be +8.25 they’re at the bottom of Western Australia. There’s roughly 12 people there unless Bruce is passing through. A fuck ton of emu war veterans though. From the side that won
