Because you can't print more gold.
Gold will always be a relevant material that stands above most because of its properties. Shiny, dense, small, good conductor.
Given that everybody is simply a collection of thoughts from the past all the old experiences still hold.
This means that even after nuclear armageddon /alien invasion / wef slavery in a matrix or whatever, the majority of people hold fast to the idea that gold will be a usable tool for exchange for survival bits.
But, there are other factors, such as Russia and China and other nations moving to a gold backed currency, which is clearly retarded, but what can you teach these people?
Extremely corrosion resistant too. Stuff meant to last through an apocalypse would definitely need a lot of it.
