One of the favorite pieces in collection, a gold double douboon of pirate fame.
That's a beautiful piece with a lot of history behind it (though I'm not really familiar with it personally). The fact that it's gold is kind of secondary to the history IMO. It could have been made out of copper and still be worth quite a bit in 2019.
This thread is turning into just another bitcoin vs. gold thread, of which there are many--and that comparison is one that shitposters have ready-made answers for. I suggest locking it, but that's on OP.
In 1000 years? Who knows what technology is going to be like, or if mankind is even going to exist. I tend to agree with those who think bitcoin is going to be replaced by something better or will somehow end up extinct, just a part of tech history. But unless we start finding gold on asteroids or other planets and it becomes far less rare, it'll still have a high value attached to it for many years to come. There will also be numismatic value on top of the melt value as long as numismatists still exist in 1000 years. Humanity likes rare things and probably always will--I'm pretty sure it's encoded into our DNA at this point.
Live for today, that's my suggestion. I'm not too concerned about the fate of either bitcoin or gold in the next millenium, honestly.
