Chinese scientists turn copper into ‘gold’

>Process in which copper is blasted with argon gas creates particles with similar properties to gold
>The new material cannot be turned into fake gold coins but could reduce use of precious metals in manufacturing

It basically negates the value of gold.
Gold is used because you can make it insanely thin and it's very conductive.
If you can do the same thing cheaper using copper and argon, gold's only value will be sentimental.

Turning lead into gold has been possible since the 80’s. It was on tomorrow’s world. It took a lot of time and energy and they said it was not economically viable back then BUT NOW IT PROBABLY IS.

Thin films of copper oxidize in air. Quickly when exposed to water. Useless for electrical contact plating, window de-icers, corrosion protection, etc. Potentially useful in some situations, but it won't significantly affect the gold market.

Gold derives most of it's value from it being a currency and store of value. And that has been the case for 1000s of years.

It had value because it was pretty and rare. Only boomers think gold will hold its value. Central banks should stockpile rare earth elements instead

That's part of it and why wouldn't that continue to be the case? It's also because people have agreed that it's a store of value for 1000s of years and use it as a currency. Currencies have very strong network effects. Gold has a near monopoly on being a physical currency (that's not paper money).

It was in the super collider and required 100,000 gallons of water to produce one troy ounce of gold, and the energy required could power Dallas for 5 days straight (if i remember right).

Now if gold were to get as high as 100k per oz, then maybe it would be worth it...

If it has the properties of gold for example the reason gold is used in electronics then the mass usage of this copper would make gold in electronics redundant .
For the niggers and biz on here this means more bling on the market as gold is highly used in electronics today .
