Why Gold Is So Expensive | So Expensive
Editor's note: The estimated amount of gold left in Earth’s crust is 55,000 tons, not 55 tons as the video states. Business Insider regrets the error.
Gold is the shining embodiment of wealth. One ounce can cost up to $1,500. But other metals that are rarer than gold are much cheaper.

Why Gold Is So Expensive | So Expensive
I don’t resent anyone who’s rich but someone who eats a steak covered in gold lacks class.
What about mr.beast?
CSX7888 King .....huh?
I hear it doesn't even taste like anything.. which makes it all the more worse
Suni Victor there’s plenty of rich people that I despise or think “how did this clown get rich?” but I don’t resent them for being rich. Gold should be on display, used in products, or in a safe - not pooped out.
Very poor taste?

Analysts at JP Morgan have predicted that Bitcoin (BTC) could fall below $1,260, while banks will not benefit from blockchain for at least three to five years, Reuters reported on Jan. 24. According to Reuters, analysts from the major global investment bank think that the true value of cryptos is still unproven, and that they only make sense in a hypothetical “dystopian” event, wherein investors have lost faith in major traditional assets like gold and the U.S. dollar. The analysts stated in a report: “Even in extreme scenarios such as a recession or financial crises, there are more liquid and less-complicated instruments for transacting, investing and hedging [than cryptocurrencies].”
It's best to seek a manager right now, unless you're canny yourself. As a business owner in both the service industry and eBay reseller of all product categories, I can tell you we’re in a deep recession and everyone is running out of money.
I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an asset manager, seeing that their entire skill set is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using an investment-coach for over 2years+ and I've netted over “$900K”.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financlal future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?

People choose to buy gold for various reasons, such as it’s historical role as a store of value and medium of exchange, it’s potential as a hedge against inflation or currency devaluation, and it’s relative scarcity compared to other commodities. Gold also offers diversification benefits to investment portfolio due to its low correlation with stocks and bonds. However, investing in gold carries risks and may not be suitable for everyone. Investors should carefully evaluate their objectives, risk tolerance and financial situation before deciding.
I find gold investment reliable and aim to buy more to recover losses. Silver is also a good investment but differs from my collectibles. Clear investment goals and education are very crucial.
That is why I work with John Desmond Heppolette, who introduced me to a better financial community, an established organization where I learned how investing works and how to make the right choice of investment, as well as free books, courses, and daily lectures.

The fact that others in my field make six figures each piece, nevertheless, motivates me to want to be the first member of my polygamous family to earn a million dollars.

If the market has taught me anything, it's that it typically makes a comeback, but I can't seem to focus on the long term, particularly because crucial factors like my retirement and my reserve are having a devastating influence on inflation. As soon as is practical, I need a solution and a data trajectory that I can trust.

Note for the editor: Watch main plates are made of brass generally, not gold. If they aren't brass then it is made of a harder metal usually to prevent flexing on a super thin movement which would affect the way gears engage.

Probably only watchmakers will notice, but just wanted throw a little knowledge out there in case it actually mattered to anyone.

It makes for a great physical currency because of the fact it’s rare, but not to rare like some other metals, so there is still enough to go around and be used, liquidated. Other metals are too rare and there’s barely enough to go around. And some metals aren’t stable and very reactive. Gold is a stable, very eye appealing, rare metal. And metals are the best choice for currency because they last the longest. Silver is a great currency too because it’s rare, not as rare but rare compared to a lot of materials and most other metals. Has even more industrial uses, is eye appealing, and also is malleable like gold. Silver does tarnish but is easily cleaned

Business Insider’s way of telling the masses to invest in gold??? 🤔
Precious metals are mostly just a hedge against inflation.
@Dr.Science This is an astonishingly ignorant statement. Gold is pretty much a hedge against your own economy. You're literally betting against your currency/financial system. Gold is not a good investment unless you expect all other financial instruments to be worthless in the near future. Buying gold is just a diversified savings account, unless the world economy collapses. Read this: From 1972 through 2013, common stocks returned 14.68 percent in falling rate environments while gold futures returned 7.85 percent. In rising rate environments, stocks returned 8.47 percent while gold only returned 4.86 percent. When rates were flat, stocks provided a gain of 10.61 percent and gold returned 8.61 percent. Paper currency is foolish to hold, but you're clearly not well off you think gold is in itself an investment. Educate yourself. Stop upvoting this shit.
@KKDominate - Rocket League From 1972 through 2013, common stocks returned 14.68 percent in falling rate environments while gold futures returned 7.85 percent. In rising rate environments, stocks returned 8.47 percent while gold only returned 4.86 percent. When rates were flat, stocks provided a gain of 10.61 percent and gold returned 8.61 percent. 1972 is the year our currency became fiat. You gold investors (I doubt you own any substantial assets at all) have no room to talk. It underperforms in every market condition imaginable.

@Dr.Science Proliferation of carbon-based superconductors can reduce demand thus the price of the gold in the same fashion as the proliferation of electric cars in the following decades can reduce demand and thus cost of oil, how these things affect the economic variables like petrodollar is yet to be seen, but stocking gold to provide for future of your children may be less sensible than diversified investment in houses, stocks etc. which value is more likely to grow in the future if chosen well compared to gold...

It's valid everycentury and nowaday it is still popular among the people. Gold has pretty much always been used by humanity to store wealth. It’s rare, it’s stable, it’s shiny and glamorous, it’s malleable, meaning it can be easily made into things like crowns. Sure, metals like osmium and uranium may be much rarer, but they don’t have the glamour of gold, plus they are rare to a point that they have little demand compared to gold.
That's the key word "Stores" wealth, not "Builds" wealth. that's why it's not an investment, it's a hedge. All these "investors" getting mad about it "losing value" should just sell it at a loss, there are plenty of buyers willing to take it off their hands.

In December 1997, The Financial Times ran an article entitled “The Death of Gold.” Since then, the gold price in US dollars has increased 519% from $288 to $1,780. Today, after many political events and crises we have evidence of the continuous and in many ways spectacular growth of the gold price. This confluence of many current events is creating a perfect storm for gold to increase dramatically more than we imagined.

@Random eurasians dude s A M E
Their estimate is a bit off, they calculated the value of that 17 pound nugget purely in weight. Solid gold nuggets especially of that size are rarely smelted down, they are worth waaaaay more as a solid piece. Couple of mil easy, but yes at spot price (todays price per ounce) about $400k
Short answer , Supply and Demand. ..... It has value because people think it has value... just like money
umm we don't think it has value.. it actually does.. it has a ton of purposes.
It is money :)
false, currency and money is different thing. gold has value because it doesn't go bad, cant print it, rare, looks nice, has many uses. and fiat currency has value because it was backed by gold and then stopped, but people still think its backed by something.
Cr_hazy exactly gold and other precious metals can create technology, federal reserve note is just cotton a linen not backed by anything😑😒.
Pushkar Lakhe Gold has internal value. Money has value because we agree it has value. If we don’t agree then it’s useless. Gold has value based on things we agree on but it also has inherent value which has nothing to do with opinion or agreement
I spend a lot of time in the California gold country and I know things haven't changed since the 1800's - if it costs more to extract and process the ore than the value of gold itself you don't make a profit. I think of all the 49er's rolling in their graves when they prospected for $20-35 ounce. Even adjusted for inflation today's gold prices are insane.

Artificial price, biggest scam after diamonds

Gold has always been money, the paper you use to buy your stuff was always exchangeable for x amount of gold. Thats what gave it value and it sure as hell was easier to carry around in your wallet. Now you can no longer exchange this paper for x amount of gold, the two have been totally cut loose from each other. THAT was the biggest scam after diamonds. And I wish you paper''money'' boys all the best of luck next crisis, when hyperinflation is going to kick in due to unlimited printing.
@@ArnhemAntiques paper? Crypto will be next anyways
Yes that’s why every central bank on the planet are still hoarding it like if they were sick animals. Can’t understand why the central banks didn’t just throw that useless gold garbage in the streets.. Idiot . How about paper money- biggest scam in the history of the galaxy.
@@ihatem2970 the price is inflated, never said its useless, stop making an ass out of yourself
The expert looks exactly like what i'd expect a gold expert to look like.
The collision of two neutron stars brought us gold 👌🤣🤣
The coinage acts didnt set a price for gold denominated in US Dollars. They defined the US Dollar as a weight of gold, silver, and initially copper.
It’s really rare and you can do special stuff with it because it’s also really workable and doesn’t oxidize. This makes it last forever in a vault in an unchanged state (good for a currency). Unlike precious gems - which are also rare, unique and expensive - it can be divided into smaller units of exchange without lowering its value (and recast into large bars for convenience). No, it’s not because of the color (see the current platinum and palladium prices).
No one: I wonder why gold is so darn expensive Almost Everyone: *IT’S GOLD*
"But tell me: how did gold get to be the highest value? Because it is uncommon and useless and gleaming and gentle in its brilliance; it always gives itself." - Friedrich Nietzsche
I love gooold! The taste of it, the smell of it. The texture
Oooh, how does it taste like?
Very good video. Very interesting. Does not explain why gold is so expensive at all though.
As an account executive in an advertising agency attending Anglogold here in Brazil, I had the opportunity to follow and been taught all steps of gold mining during a week at the underground mining pit 900 m profundity and I had the pleasure to hold a 12kg bar of gold in my hands at the end of the process. It was so mind-blowing! It was so soft my ring made a dent on it! I kept thinking what I could do with it and understood finally why it can causes a "fever".
people in the Chinese empire: *Suicide from swallowing gold bars People in the modern era: *eats gold for fun Oh how we've evolved

Edible gold has been a thing since the ancient Egyptians. It's not something modern.
@2:49, that 14 lb was 248 troy oz, which at today's $2k/troy oz is about $1/2 million ($500k) in gold.
As business student i would talk in general not only gold but anything rare+ high demand and use will always be expensive. It doesn't matter much for rarity. If there is steak covered in gold and the steak doesn't taste good then who will buy it and seller have decrease his profit to make it cheap.
👏STOP ADDING GOLD TO FOOD👏
Dont tell me what to do
How else can I shit gold?
Thanks I was about to
Will there be gold Mac and cheese?

Hey thank you for making the entertaining video we don't care about the mistake we owe you for making something interesting in our day especially free and we know these videos are especially hard to edit and create so don't worry about. I am personally glad you actually owned up to your mistake and including it in the description cause i know a lot of people who just wouldn't say anything.
It’s amazing how there are lots of ways now one can make money, that ain’t about owning a business
True, sometimes to own a business is stressful as a woman and wife, it gets no easier
start small, you might not have a lot of funds for business, but you can just invest in crypto/forex
@@avarodriguez4966 Seems you’re good with crypto? You trade by yourself or a broker?
I really need to be financially stable this 2021, last year wasn’t an easy year at all financially and emotionally I lost someone special. 😔
No relent this year! We all gotta make it 💪
The first two seconds of this video the music had me thinking I was loading into the Division.
Gold is quite literally stardust, an alien element that fell onto the Earth. It's un-reactive, resistant, malleable, really nice to look at, and its rare. Not to mention there's a myriad of silvery-grey metals, but nothing so innate and risk free as gold has such a vivid look. It's hard to champion anything else...
gold is money, its a central commodity everything else is priced around gold. even fiat money.
you cant pay taxes with gold and gold cost money to keep you need a safe you need guards you need to transport it and for what purpose it doesn't yield any annual wealth, its easily the most overrated investment ever.
How is fiat money priced around gold?
also prices arnt priced around gold, prices are more priced around oil. When the oil price go's up farmers, miners and transport company's pass the higher oil price onto the consumer , the same dynamic does not happen with gold.
trent jenkins it’s the cost of living that is consistently priced in gold when comparing historic economic periods. We adjust for inflation based on how much gold paper notes can buy today versus yesterday. Oil is far too volatile to use for reserves. When interest rates are not set by the federal reserve, and instead a market rate is determined, then people use banks to store their wealth who pay those savers a rate of interest for the ability to loan out those funds, all of which used to be backed by gold (until 1971, officially, and for effectively 5000 years prior). CPI and PMI may be correlated to current oil prices, but correlation is not causation. Let alone extraction rates are extremely volatile day to day, which is why banks dont stock their vaults with oil barrels.
@@trent3727 Lol, keep loving your paper money then
the perfect metal unless you are an alchemist
Few things wrong about the 'how gold came to Earth' explanation. Elements up to iron are produced by main sequence stars, then depending on the size of that star it could explode in a supernova. This event fused the iron into even heavier elements, up to and including lead. After that kilonovae(collisions between neutron stars) and hypernovae(basically just supernovae that's anywhere from ten to a hundred times more potent than the average) are required to forge still heavier elements. But none of these form distinct 'masses' in which only one element is present, all of the elements produced/expelled during these events mix together in giant clouds of material. Sometimes these clouds mix with existing clouds, which triggers the formation of a star and some planets too. Most of the heavier elements sink down to the core of a rocky planet, but a small amount still stays up at the top layer and gets 'baked' into the crust of the planet so to speak. Most of the elements like gold, lead, iron, uranium, and all of the other 'heavy' elements we've dug up are those deposits that remained up at the top layer of the planet during its formative period.
Where can I find gold? I love this material and would like to find some
as a Goldsmith i must say Gold is one of the best material to invest your money. you can buy a gold ring and after ten years its value will be ten times more.. and hey you got the chance to show off your gold ring too.. which might get you some personal benefits XD
10x in ten years?
😂😂
From a historical perspective, gold is NOT an investment. Gold does not even beat inflation over a 10 year period and put it simply, there is no increased demand for gold over time nor does the gold produce any cash flow or income. I would say gold is best seen as a hedge against economy disaster. Compare US equities return over gold for average 10 year period time you would realize that gold is a joke. Even bonds outperform gold lmao. I'm not trying to say that you should not buy gold but to the contrary to the media, you SHOULD NOT view gold as an investment but rather a form of diversification/hedge in your portfolio. I really get pissed off of how much media and people think gold is a long term investment
My grand father has brick 5 gold bar at that time he had buyer for 25 rupess now its million worth it
@@steveng7497 Different country different benefit, for country with unstable economy and suffered hyperinflation like venezuela, gold is life saviour
Why Gold is so expensive ? Me: BECAUSE GOLD IS GOLD!

Gold became less once they used it On computers and space missions.
because gold is one of the best things you can own to protect your wealth, everything else that people own can become worthless (stocks, bonds, dollars etc)
Gold is beautiful and rare, and we now know it comes from space. That's amazing. I love gold.
He was supposed to say 55 thousand tons not 55 tons left to mine.
gold is the best reflector of inferred light, it has a prime atomic number 79, it is conductive, high melting point, it doesn't rust, it is medically non toxic, it is rarer than platium, and very easy to smuggle.
