    It’s the legendary metaphor of the all powerful dragon that sits on his mountain of gold

      This reminds me of the Shadowrun universe: the cyberpunk megacorporations are literally run by dragons. It’s so apt it’s scary lol.

      I could see wall street and other traders trading options on the gold under the dragon because it isn’t going anywhere and it’s safe from basically everything.

      That market will crash if sufficiently skilled dragon hunters show up though, better ban dragon slaying.
