If they actually manage to do this on a large scale, it won't take long till gold is the same price as lead.
Same thing as when they talk about wanting to mine an entire asteroid made of gold.

Just look at the price of diamonds in the last few years now that ‘lab created’ diamonds are all over the market... REAL diamonds, not substitutes.................

Already, artificial diamonds are much cheaper than natural diamonds, even in high quality, multiple carat sizes. DeBeers is up for sale and unlikely to fetch more than its value as a distribution and marketing business.

A few years from now, I can imagine a hapless young man being confronted by a beloved: "A gold and diamonds necklace? You cheap bastard!"

My thought too.

Natural diamond prices are impacted by the introduction of man-made diamonds, diluting the market. But an expert can still tell the difference.

Not so with this gold production method (if it works).
