If gold was a useful raw material then the vast majority of it wouldn’t be sitting in basements.

Personally I think we should be gilding more religious icons and applying leaf to pages of college text books so they don’t seem like such a raw deal.

Palantir is going to start making earrings and selling cable wire?
