Mobile computing machine...AND currency hedge. Think about it.

Many people wonder what makes gold so special as a store of value. When inflation fears set in, people flock to gold. One answer is that the dollar used to be backed by gold. An even better answer I will leave to Judy Shelton, an economist and director of the National Endowment for Democracy:

“From the mid-14th century until now, you can draw a relative straight line in the purchasing power of gold, and every central banker in their heart knows that. Gold is universally recognized as a store of value. That’s important because it denotes price stability.”

While fiat currencies come and go, gold was the standard currency used for international trade for centuries. Despite price fluctuations of gold, its purchasing power has pretty much remained the same; and a currency is only as good as its ability to buy goods and services.
