True but things like silver, platinum, etc would drop a LOT.Depends on which metal. In the past, it was a really big risk with gold since it was mostly valuable due to its rarity and only slightly due to its properties.
Nowadays gold is in constant demand for computer circuitry etc, so the 'platform price' is higher. ofc, it'd still plummet, but not as far as it would've half a century ago.
