Gold has played a crucial role in human history as it has been widely used as a store of value and medium of exchange. Apart from its shine and usage for jewelry, the precious metal is considered a safe-haven asset, meaning that it's a good investment during turbulent times. Gold is also seen as a hedge against inflation and against depreciating currencies as it doesn't rely on any specific issuer or government.
