I like to ponder. A lot.
So, I've wondered.
Why did they make it that this substance they named "gold" more costly than this substance they name "silver" and why is that more costly than this substance we call "bronze"?

Just curious about your point of view.

wow, that! is a new knowledge. Can I get the link?


I can't find anything. If I search around for gold allergies it just talks about beig allergic to the nickel in gold alloys. I don't have a link to where I found the info because believe it or not I knew it from life not from online lol. Its just one of those bits of info you pick up over the years like you can't be allergic to honey.

Well I would think that it is a rare mineral. It is not the rarest though.Fun Fact, The rarest mineral on earth is not from earth but from asteroids and metiors that drop them on earth, and is also very shiny and cannot be bought. So as has been said earlier silver is more plentiful and from what I understand alot of fake jewelry.
As for bronze well that is apparently very plentiful and is an industrial metal (I think) so it has alot more demand and has alot of supply so do the math please.

Well thats what I think anyways.

I think that it is just harder to find so they make you pay more for it which makes people think its better than silver and buy it.

Yep, it's 'quite' hard.

In America Gold Rush, the founder of Levi's Jeans, he was a gold miner, he didn't find any gold after several years digging. He can't believe his eyes when some 'newbie' find gold just 2 meters below he sold the digging site. There was no metal detector that time.

As an entrepreneur, he think differently, he invent 'Jeans' Yay!
