Syntax actually invented the aluminum can while advising beverage industry executives on efficient bottling practices.

Given what the Federal Reserve has done to the dollar, I fully expect a used aluminum beverage can to be worth more than $1 in my lifetime and thus usable as a de facto, though not de jure currency.

@OP
If you step back it seems odd that Gold is used for currency. It might be a really good candidate, but it seems absurd that everyone should agree on this limited use metal should become a global standard. Except they didn't all agree, did they. That's not what happened.
Then the free market was born and a finite resource was no longer the best candidate so they switched the standard to dreams and that is the real question:
What if dreams became a currency?

It used to be so valuable because it was almost impossible to manufacture it, nowadays its so simple and that's why the metal is worthless.

Kind of funny how metals used to hold value. Now a bunch of data in the form of Bitcoin is.

At this very moment a bitcoin is worth less $289.45 than yesterday.
Also with any other purchase you know the price. With bitcoin's you have to wait and wait and wait to discover what you ended up paying OR getting paid.
And then their are the brokers who went out of business and left you high and dry without a penny.

No, aluminum was more expensive than gold in some areas because gold isn't even that useful, and aluminum was probably more common in those areas.

@previous (16bitch !BMhSp1fpyA) > because gold isn't even that useful
Child your lack of education is the problem. Gold has major value in high technology. Aluminum is important as well in technology.
Now NAME one place on Planet Earth where aluminum is more expensive then Gold - Go on hit Google and pry pray pray.
Also it was really good to see r04r the owner of mc bitch slap your ass lol lol lol
r04r
no but seriously stop spamming it all over the place or it, and any other topics you make where you try to gain attention, will be locked/deleted

I was saying how, in some areas, aluminum used to be more valuable than gold. Did we have complex computers that use gold in their circuitry a few hundred/thousand years ago? No.

You disappoint me. I gave you a challenge for proof which frankly is easy to find. For a very short few years Aluminum was once more valuable than Gold. The moment someone worked out how to liberate it from soil, Aluminum became worth a little more than soil.

I'm not going to prove an argument that I wasn't making. You wanted proof tha alumin is more valuable than gold in modern times, which of course it isn't. If you want evidence that it used to be more expensive than gold, I'd be happy to oblige.

No need.
It is good enough that you stick more with your own blog where you alone can find what you need Grinz
But damn it is good to not have to see you trying to spam this site with your blog link.
Oh and to finish. Over the many years there were famous attempts to turn lead into gold. No one every tried to turn lead into aluminum.
That said about a decade or so ago a brand new state of matter was invented. Science guys and gals knocked out a core electron from every aluminium atom in a sample without disrupting the metal’s crystalline structure. This turned the aluminium nearly invisible to extreme ultraviolet radiation.
What they created is a completely new state of matter nobody has seen before making ALUMINUM Transparent. (Limited to mostly UV radiation)
