The Nixon Shock was the end of the Bretton Woods system (kinda sorta a gold standard) and the beginning of unlimited inflation we see today. Everything absolutely went to shit after Nixon, especially inequality.
-
Is gold actually worth something though? Most of it's value is also just because it lasts a long time and we all think it is valuable. And I disagree that things have gotten worse only since Nixon

Sorry if I implied the world in general has only gotten worse since then. I was referring to the money supply and its consequences.
Why do you say "most"?
-
Gold has some value from use in corrosion resistant cables, contacts, or telescopes, but it's mostly just an agreed upon store of value like any other currency
-
So it is worth something then.

I mean usd cash can be used for fire kindling. Both get the vast majority of their value from our collective decision to think that they are valuable.
