Gold is a rare metal but, it is valued for its beauty, its usefulness as jewerly and its rarity. Gold can never die though its very rare in the universe.
According to Dana Berry and SkyWorks Digital, Inc. rare gold elements are gotten from colliding neutron stars which is gamma-ray bursts.
Gold is scarce but not dead. Its cost of production is usually very high, thereby making it scarce. Also, when the price of gold reduces, buyers tend to come out and buy the little available ones, and sellers go away. This makes the gold very rare.

Therefore, its best to buy a gold item now because, its a hedge to inflation.
Its certain that gold can never be dead.
