RE: All that glitters is not gold. It could be a ripe fruit too.

That is a very interesting theory @janusface. Psychological comparisons to more primitive times always fascinate me, because it seems nonsensical to say that these theories are wrong when you can draw a correlations like you have.

While I know this is just your theory, I think that you make a very good point, and while Gold has multiple properties that make it valuable, this may be yet another reason.

Thanks for sharing this, I am currently running a project called the Steemit Success Initiative and I would really appreciate your feedback and support on it!
