Absolutely! The only way you can sell gold is when some other sucker buys it. So when at some moment the price of gold drops to 1 cent per kilogram, all those fools who own it will lose their savings. If you are a smart person, you will immediately sell everything you own for dollars, put them in a bag, and keep it hidden under your bed. Well, maybe you at least shouldn't sell the bed. Or perhaps you could use some of those dollars to make a bed; I'm not sure about these technical details. All I know is that everything is a Ponzi scheme, and that this comment will soon appear at the front page of Hacker News.
