I’m saying that IF people didn’t want to make jewelry out of gold any more...

---

Before we get to the “if pigs had wings” discussions of the rhetorical significance of the word “if” consider that throughout human history, people have always intensely desired gold as their jewelry.

I would suggest that the desire to make a substance an adornment is not the CAUSE of the demand for that substance, but instead the EFFECT of the demand for that substance.

Indian brides aren’t buying gold because they think it makes them looks pretty, they’re buying because they KNOW it makes them look WEALTHY.

The first person to put on gold jewelry did not think “if I wear this, people will think I’m rich”.

For many years, gold has tied in with wealth, but not long long ago.

You do realize I’m pro Gold?
