We humans like things that are pretty.

BTC, not so much, if it were just more pretty.

The looks of gold are only a small part of its value. It's an element (element 79, symbol Au, one of only a small handful of them) that possess all sort of important properties valued by civilization, properties that other elements do not possess, and it's extremely rare, at least anywhere near the earth's surface (the core of the planet is likely pure gold, but you cannot reach it).



I guess the idea is bred into us.

My mom alway kept the cookie jar on the highest shelf in the kitchen.
I couldn't reach it either.
