Gold, like many other metal are limited in quantity, thus they can be given a value, besides, gold is used for other things besides currency, like electronic components, how is it different from crypto? Simple, you can't create gold out of thin air.
And yes, you can actually eat gold, but it has no nutritional value and there are better uses for it. Now let me ask, do you eat tractors and generators too, how tasty are those horse calves?
Crypto is limited. I get that fringe ppl have a use for gold. But only tiny amounts and their are better metals anyway. Some cultures have women that value gold for status.
