The dream of the ancient alchemists may come true as Marathon Fusion announces that its tokamak fusion reactor technology can turn common mercury into gold as a byproduct of fusion operations in quantities that would make Auric Goldfinger blush.

Gold is not worth anything. Humans assigned a value. It’s all made up.
It’s a better conductor than copper. Doesn’t oxidize like copper. Could be very useful if I’m the far future it could replace copper.
It’s actually a worse conductor than copper. It’s just used for contacts because it’s nearly as good of a conductor and it doesn’t oxidize. If you want a better conductor than copper then you want silver which to my knowledge is the best conductor out of all the base elements.
Electronics. Prior to electronics, what you said may have been somewhat true. But now gold has a real purpose.
Gold does have a purpose, my point is that the value of gold, paper money, diamonds, caviar, etc. is assigned and not a real number.
