Maksud: 我认为黄金是为那些有钱人准备的,是地位的象征。它可以追溯到古代埃及法老时期,那时黄金是权力和财富的象征。即使在今天,黄金仍然是一种安全的投资方式,因为即使价格波动,它也能保持其价值。我经营一家珠宝店,我喜欢黄金,因为即使卖不出去,我也可以把它熔化,仍然能赚回我的钱。当然,加密货币对黄金市场产生了一定的影响,但黄金仍然是一种可靠的资产。 Joe: 我觉得黄金在历史上与权力相关联,是一种“工作证明”。黄金不会失去光泽,因此在历史上与神灵联系在一起,是一种不朽的商品。 Tracy: 我认为黄金和加密货币之间存在竞争关系,尤其是在投机价格方面。实验室培育的钻石正在扼杀低端钻石市场,因为它们的价格更低,质量更高。

The price of gold is basically at record highs. But what is it about gold that people love so much? Why have people always craved a metal that has no real industrial uses? And what does owning or wearing gold represent? On this episode of the podcast, we speak with Maksud Agadjani, the founder of TraxNYC, a jewelry store based in NYC's Diamond District. You may recognize Maksud from the movie Uncut Gems, where he played a character similar to himself, working in the fast-moving world of precious metals, rare stones, and flashy jewelry. We talked to him about the persistent demand for gold and why people are so into it right now.
