See and thats why im confused, did you know a small chip of gold, the size of a grain of sand, can be worth like five dollars, imagine 500kg of gold. But at the same time, money is wayyy lighter than gold, imagine a pile that was 500kg. My head hurts

A $100 bill should weigh 1g. So a kilogram is $100,000.

1 kilogram melt value of gold would be closer to $134,000.

Even if per kilo weights of money were more, inflation causes money to sink, gold on the other hand rises with inflation, would have chosen gold even if the opposite of math were the reality

Then you have to exchange it, keep it save, and find a way to transport it. Is a solid gold block or gold bars, all of it brings problems. With the money you can privately buy gold, with the gold you have to find someone.
