    if I had a pile of gold, it would increase in value without taking from anyone. Generalized statements don’t help your agenda when it’s generalizing hatred towards others.

      I don’t get it. If you have a pile of gold and there are no other people involved, how does its value change?

      Not true at all. The increase in the value of gold happens because of the decrease in the value of money. You are taking from people who don’t have extra wealth to keep lying around, and have to earn and spend cash to survive.
