>Chinese scientists turn copper into ‘gold’
>the new Frankenstein material was successfully used as a catalyst to turn coal into alcohol – a complex chemical process that is best facilitated by precious metals.
>Because the super-copper can resist high temperatures, oxidation and erosion, the researchers believe that their new material could also replace precious metals used in electronics, radically reducing manufacturing costs.
That's a big deal.
Golds only value now is as a rare shiny rock. Gay...

Most gold isn't used for practical purposes so this changes nothing.

Gold's value comes from the fact it's so dense it's nearly impossible to counterfeit and it doesn't tarnish so it lasts forever. It's the ideal currency.

Gold's industrial use isn't why people agree that it's worth something.
It's not like, say, platinum, where you'd expect the price to go down substantially as the car industry shifts toward electric and aggregate demand for catalytic converters go down.

This is related to Canada and the US about to declare their gold reserves are empty. This is actual gold mixed with copper that the chinese have told Trump they will release back onto the markets. China has been buying up gold reserves for 70 years and the west's currencies are accordingly worthless at this point, this is part of how we reset the global economy
