Nature doesn ' t place a value on gold , people do . I ' m trying to figure your position out . So intrinsic value is wholly separate from any market value , meaning it ' s just an arbitrary number of some kind ? Are you saying intrinsic value is another way of saying natural properties ?

Usefulness can only be measured by price , especially for a store of value . <| sep |> Shut down . <| sep |> Law makers do not represent the populace in America .
