Gold actually has intrinsic value. Fiat currency does not.

Yes, but is gold's value for the electronics industry anywhere near its market price? The demand seems a lot smaller than the offer (they use about 320 tons/year - http://www.bullionstreet.com/news/electronics-industry-uses-... and the metal is recyclable).
