    if I had a pile of gold, it would increase in value without taking from anyone. Generalized statements don’t help your agenda when it’s generalizing hatred towards others.

      I don’t get it. If you have a pile of gold and there are no other people involved, how does its value change?

          OK. So more people are buying it and they are paying more. How can they afford to do this?

            I could say the same about the environmental impact of the poor buying small volume products with more packaging because they don’t (probably “can’t”) save

              now i really don’t get it. Your gold is increasing in value because poor people like packaging?

              i think you’re maybe geoff bezos, except that i suspect a very small amount of his (your) assets are in gold.

      Not true at all. The increase in the value of gold happens because of the decrease in the value of money. You are taking from people who don’t have extra wealth to keep lying around, and have to earn and spend cash to survive.
