If the market price of gold goes to zero, then no, by definition it has no remaining utility.



That's also why it'd probably never get close to zero - its utility means it'd always have some value to someone.

Even if we were to come up with a way to produce a synthetic gold, the price of gold would only fall as far the cost of synthetic gold.


Does this line of reasoning imply that if Bitcoin never goes to zero then it must have some utility even if the random person on HN cannot articulate it?
