- Editor's note: The estimated amount of gold left in Earth’s crust is 55,000 tons, not 55 tons as the video states. Business Insider regrets the error.
Gold is the shining embodiment of wealth. One ounce can cost up to $1,500. But other metals that are rarer than gold are much cheaper.

Why Gold Is So Expensive | So Expensive
I don’t resent anyone who’s rich but someone who eats a steak covered in gold lacks class.
What about mr.beast?
CSX7888 King .....huh?
I hear it doesn't even taste like anything.. which makes it all the more worse
Suni Victor there’s plenty of rich people that I despise or think “how did this clown get rich?” but I don’t resent them for being rich. Gold should be on display, used in products, or in a safe - not pooped out.
Very poor taste?
Analysts at JP Morgan have predicted that Bitcoin (BTC) could fall below $1,260, while banks will not benefit from blockchain for at least three to five years, Reuters reported on Jan. 24.
According to Reuters, analysts from the major global investment bank think that the true value of cryptos is still unproven, and that they only make sense in a hypothetical “dystopian” event, wherein investors have lost faith in major traditional assets like gold and the U.S. dollar. The analysts stated in a report:
“Even in extreme scenarios such as a recession or financial crises, there are more liquid and less-complicated instruments for transacting, investing and hedging [than cryptocurrencies].”
It's best to seek a manager right now, unless you're canny yourself. As a business owner in both the service industry and eBay reseller of all product categories, I can tell you we’re in a deep recession and everyone is running out of money.
I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an asset manager, seeing that their entire skill set is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using an investment-coach for over 2years+ and I've netted over “$900K”.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financlal future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?
’Sonya lee Mitchell’ is the licensed advisor I use. Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
Thank you for the information. I conducted my own research and your advisor appears to be highly skilled and knowledgeable. I've sent her an email and arranged a phone call. Her expertise is impressive, and I'm eagerly anticipating our conversation.
People choose to buy gold for various reasons, such as it’s historical role as a store of value and medium of exchange, it’s potential as a hedge against inflation or currency devaluation, and it’s relative scarcity compared to other commodities. Gold also offers diversification benefits to investment portfolio due to its low correlation with stocks and bonds. However, investing in gold carries risks and may not be suitable for everyone. Investors should carefully evaluate their objectives, risk tolerance and financial situation before deciding.
I find gold investment reliable and aim to buy more to recover losses. Silver is also a good investment but differs from my collectibles. Clear investment goals and education are very crucial.
That is why I work with John Desmond Heppolette, who introduced me to a better financial community, an established organization where I learned how investing works and how to make the right choice of investment, as well as free books, courses, and daily lectures. You also get to meet new people, which was the best decision I ever made..

Note for the editor: Watch main plates are made of brass generally, not gold. If they aren't brass then it is made of a harder metal usually to prevent flexing on a super thin movement which would affect the way gears engage.

Probably only watchmakers will notice, but just wanted throw a little knowledge out there in case it actually mattered to anyone.

expensive because people want it. that's where product price come from .. demand .. and of course add greedy capitalism.

Your research are magnificent
Geologist actually estimate that there’s just as much gold left in the ground as has been mined.
There is much more gold just like oil and natural gas diamonds but you can’t allow it the world will be destroyed if that happen
Nah all the current gold extracted from earth only equates to about 20 meters all around so there's not that much
A one dimensional unit doesn’t make sense. Also a 2 dimensional unit (area) wouldnt make sense either. U sure ur not meaning 20m^3 (volume)
There is way more gold then theses idiots tell us we can only dig so far in the earth if we can go deeper they will find a lot more then they r telling us and as for only 20 years left of gold on earth come on guys we r not that stupid.
They dont know anything regards the true amount to be got hold of. Its speculation5

It’s real
It’s difficult/expensive to get
It’s useful

“They send it back to the universe, where it came from.”

It's actually up to 1800 an ounce, courteous of the banks in forex and Commodities.
It makes for a great physical currency because of the fact it’s rare, but not to rare like some other metals, so there is still enough to go around and be used, liquidated. Other metals are too rare and there’s barely enough to go around. And some metals aren’t stable and very reactive. Gold is a stable, very eye appealing, rare metal. And metals are the best choice for currency because they last the longest. Silver is a great currency too because it’s rare, not as rare but rare compared to a lot of materials and most other metals. Has even more industrial uses, is eye appealing, and also is malleable like gold. Silver does tarnish but is easily cleaned
Business Insider’s way of telling the masses to invest in gold??? 🤔
Precious metals are mostly just a hedge against inflation.
@Dr.Science This is an astonishingly ignorant statement. Gold is pretty much a hedge against your own economy. You're literally betting against your currency/financial system. Gold is not a good investment unless you expect all other financial instruments to be worthless in the near future. Buying gold is just a diversified savings account, unless the world economy collapses.
Read this: From 1972 through 2013, common stocks returned 14.68 percent in falling rate environments while gold futures returned 7.85 percent. In rising rate environments, stocks returned 8.47 percent while gold only returned 4.86 percent. When rates were flat, stocks provided a gain of 10.61 percent and gold returned 8.61 percent.
Paper currency is foolish to hold, but you're clearly not well off you think gold is in itself an investment. Educate yourself. Stop upvoting this shit.
@KKDominate - Rocket League From 1972 through 2013, common stocks returned 14.68 percent in falling rate environments while gold futures returned 7.85 percent. In rising rate environments, stocks returned 8.47 percent while gold only returned 4.86 percent. When rates were flat, stocks provided a gain of 10.61 percent and gold returned 8.61 percent.
1972 is the year our currency became fiat. You gold investors (I doubt you own any substantial assets at all) have no room to talk. It underperforms in every market condition imaginable.
@Dr.Science youre a child professing investment advice on UA-cam. Look at you, you watch video game cartoons.
I've worked in corporate finance for 7 years and I have an MBA, CPA, and CMA. Stay in school
@Dr.Science Proliferation of carbon-based superconductors can reduce demand thus the price of the gold in the same fashion as the proliferation of electric cars in the following decades can reduce demand and thus cost of oil, how these things affect the economic variables like petrodollar is yet to be seen, but stocking gold to provide for future of your children may be less sensible than diversified investment in houses, stocks etc. which value is more likely to grow in the future if chosen well compared to gold...

Me: BECAUSE GOLD IS GOLD!
YUP 😏
Gotcha gustefly funda
Gold became less once they used it
On computers and space missions.
because gold is one of the best things you can own to protect your wealth, everything else that people own can become worthless (stocks, bonds, dollars etc)
Gold is beautiful and rare, and we now know it comes from space. That's amazing. I love gold.
As an Indian nothing can get me away from gold jewelry!!! I
Finally really talking about the 'why' in the last minute
Even if gold was a common element we would still like it enough to consider it precious, it just looks really good
👏STOP ADDING GOLD TO FOOD👏
Dont tell me what to do
How else can I shit gold?
Thanks I was about to
Will there be gold Mac and cheese?
Q: why gold is so expensive?
A: because the price of it is high 😎
didn't answer the question, why is that price so high huh?
666 BRLN 999 it’s just a joke
@@LegendNinja41 it smoked weed
because the price reflects the inflationary nature of fiat currency and the devaluation of the US dollar and other overly produced fiat currencies around the world. Gold will only go higher and higher as more banks get into more debt and more Governments keep printing fiat currency to keep this money=debt ponzi scheme going. Meanwhile gold stays gold.

Few things wrong about the 'how gold came to Earth' explanation. Elements up to iron are produced by main sequence stars, then depending on the size of that star it could explode in a supernova. This event fused the iron into even heavier elements, up to and including lead. After that kilonovae(collisions between neutron stars) and hypernovae(basically just supernovae that's anywhere from ten to a hundred times more potent than the average) are required to forge still heavier elements. But none of these form distinct 'masses' in which only one element is present, all of the elements produced/expelled during these events mix together in giant clouds of material. Sometimes these clouds mix with existing clouds, which triggers the formation of a star and some planets too. Most of the heavier elements sink down to the core of a rocky planet, but a small amount still stays up at the top layer and gets 'baked' into the crust of the planet so to speak. Most of the elements like gold, lead, iron, uranium, and all of the other 'heavy' elements we've dug up are those deposits that remained up at the top layer of the planet during its formative period.
In December 1997, The Financial Times ran an article entitled “The Death of Gold.” Since then, the gold price in US dollars has increased 519% from $288 to $1,780. Today, after many political events and crises we have evidence of the continuous and in many ways spectacular growth of the gold price. This confluence of many current events is creating a perfect storm for gold to increase dramatically more than we imagined.
Hey thank you for making the entertaining video we don't care about the mistake we owe you for making something interesting in our day especially free and we know these videos are especially hard to edit and create so don't worry about. I am personally glad you actually owned up to your mistake and including it in the description cause i know a lot of people who just wouldn't say anything.
No one: I wonder why gold is so darn expensive
Almost Everyone: *IT’S GOLD*
"But tell me: how did gold get to be the highest value? Because it is uncommon and useless and gleaming and gentle in its brilliance; it always gives itself." - Friedrich Nietzsche
Gold is quite literally stardust, an alien element that fell onto the Earth. It's un-reactive, resistant, malleable, really nice to look at, and its rare.
Not to mention there's a myriad of silvery-grey metals, but nothing so innate and risk free as gold has such a vivid look.
It's hard to champion anything else...
The coinage acts didnt set a price for gold denominated in US Dollars. They defined the US Dollar as a weight of gold, silver, and initially copper.
Short answer , Supply and Demand.
..... It has value because people think it has value... just like money
umm we don't think it has value.. it actually does.. it has a ton of purposes.
It is money :)
false, currency and money is different thing. gold has value because it doesn't go bad, cant print it, rare, looks nice, has many uses. and fiat currency has value because it was backed by gold and then stopped, but people still think its backed by something.
Cr_hazy exactly gold and other precious metals can create technology, federal reserve note is just cotton a linen not backed by anything😑😒.
Pushkar Lakhe Gold has internal value. Money has value because we agree it has value. If we don’t agree then it’s useless. Gold has value based on things we agree on but it also has inherent value which has nothing to do with opinion or agreement
the perfect metal unless you are an alchemist
I can't wait for them to make a video on why gemstones are expensive
Ok, but can we talk about the intro music which almost sounded like the Stranger Things intro😆
It’s amazing how there are lots of ways now one can make money, that ain’t about owning a business
True, sometimes to own a business is stressful as a woman and wife, it gets no easier
start small, you might not have a lot of funds for business, but you can just invest in crypto/forex
@@avarodriguez4966 Seems you’re good with crypto? You trade by yourself or a broker?
I really need to be financially stable this 2021, last year wasn’t an easy year at all financially and emotionally
I lost someone special. 😔
No relent this year! We all gotta make it 💪
"And that brings a degree of emotion to the investment". Two words that should never be combined.
Emotion is what makes us human kid. One day you'll grow up and no longer be scared of feelings.
The first two seconds of this video the music had me thinking I was loading into the Division.
As a Colombian, aka Gold Carvers and the inspiration for the Legend of El Dorado even I wonder why gold gold is so valuable!
As an account executive in an advertising agency attending Anglogold here in Brazil, I had the opportunity to follow and been taught all steps of gold mining during a week at the underground mining pit 900 m profundity and I had the pleasure to hold a 12kg bar of gold in my hands at the end of the process. It was so mind-blowing! It was so soft my ring made a dent on it! I kept thinking what I could do with it and understood finally why it can causes a "fever".
as a Goldsmith i must say Gold is one of the best material to invest your money. you can buy a gold ring and after ten years its value will be ten times more.. and hey you got the chance to show off your gold ring too.. which might get you some personal benefits XD
10x in ten years?
😂😂
From a historical perspective, gold is NOT an investment. Gold does not even beat inflation over a 10 year period and put it simply, there is no increased demand for gold over time nor does the gold produce any cash flow or income. I would say gold is best seen as a hedge against economy disaster. Compare US equities return over gold for average 10 year period time you would realize that gold is a joke. Even bonds outperform gold lmao. I'm not trying to say that you should not buy gold but to the contrary to the media, you SHOULD NOT view gold as an investment but rather a form of diversification/hedge in your portfolio. I really get pissed off of how much media and people think gold is a long term investment
My grand father has brick 5 gold bar at that time he had buyer for 25 rupess now its million worth it
@@steveng7497
Different country different benefit, for country with unstable economy and suffered hyperinflation like venezuela, gold is life saviour
We've extracted 190,000 tonnes of gold, but only 55 tonnes is left and is supposed to take 20 years to find and mine, how can that be?
*I'm bout to scratch my sim card right now*
