Gold Can Stay

Nothing Gold Can Stay
Robert Frost, 1874 - 1963

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

This is a beautiful poem by Robert Frost. My personal interpretation on the concept he is relaying is that beauty is transitory and that we should acknowledge this and enjoy it while it lasts.

Perhaps he is speaking of a sunrise that is radiant and breath taking but only last for a few fleeting moments. I love the idea of the poem because it reminds us to be present and to take advantage of the things that are special we are surrounded by every day.

..... BUT.....

The truth is that gold is the ONLY thing that stays!

Why Gold - the Science Behind Gold.
By Roy Sebag
https://www.goldmoney.com/research/goldmoney-insights/why-gold-the-science-behind-gold

From the article.....

“Over thousands of years of experiments, civilizations consistently resolved that gold was the most useful element to possess and trade as an accepted form of value.”

^ This explains why gold has alway been understood as money. Gold was not declared money by some authority, it emerged as money through experimentation with everything else.

As explained in the article, this boils down to the unique elemental properties of gold.

From the article....

“Interestingly, gold’s ascension occurred before civilizations had the advanced scientific knowledge of its elemental properties. Humans productively optimized their experiments in cooperation by using gold as the basis for measuring value.”

This is also fascinating. Because gold “stayed,” humans have always understood gold as money... before there was any way to back test it scientifically.

Gold is money. Gold is savings.

Philosophically, existentially, and for some excellent literature... nothing gold can stay.

In the physical world, and as a mechanism to protect your families accumulated wealth,

Gold stays forever.
