> The whole point of gold is that it is a tangible asset

I fail to see how. I know a number of people who trade gold online and it is definitely not a tangible asset to them.

Even if it was, so what? I really don't get this point. Scarcity is what gives value to gold, if it wasn't then anything tangible would have value.
