Saw this video about gold, it’s chemical structure and malleability. I still don’t understand why gold is worth anything at all……

Lots of elements are rare, but gold is more valuable than its rarity alone explains.
The other component is its unreactivity, the fact that it is in a very chemically stable state (it doesn’t rust or oxidise)
If you make something out of gold, it will look pretty much the same in 1000 years or 100,000 years.
