A lot more hype, a lot more FUD about everything that isn't gold, a lot more "now is a good time to buy gold". But at least you can mark its inflated price up by turning it into something many cultures find useful or pretty. :)

Gold exists regardless of if you mine it or not.

And yet people mine it. And it follows the "I can get out before you" game the OP describes.
