>This is why rich people had a lot of gold - rich people have money and gold is money

It's my understanding that the richest people in America think gold a barberous relic.

I agree that gold has some interesting properties, but so much of the value-of-gold argument seems to stem from its historical uses. But we've used all kinds of things as currency. Using a metal we have to dig out of the ground seems so backwards to me.
