The DNB position would be tablrolee if it may be argued that gold remains just a commodity. From their perspective, however, admitting that precious's mean utility and source of value is automatically derived from its function as a universal medium of exchange by self delineating its own store of value as an intransient product of labor, precisely because it remains antagonistic to and safe from any fiat debasements, would be self-defeating for them.Thus they can likely never explain in public why any monetary metal would derive value directly from its embedded social capital, since their competing medium of exchange has none.
