Just a hypothetical question, what would lab grown gold do to the global economies backed with gold?
I'll start by saying this isn't going to happen anytime soon. I understand this is alchemy and not just compressing an element from one form to another like diamonds.
I've been trying to offload a ring for a family member and have had some enlightening conversations with jewelers. The ring is smaller but for conversations I've been asking about 3.5 carat. The cost to the jewelers to buy a natural stone that size is about 18k. About half of what it was 3 years ago. The cost to buy a lab grown 3.5 carat is about 3k. The cost of the lab grown diamonds have come down to 1/10 of their price in 3-5 years.
With the precious metals market going parabolic, I can see this getting alot more interest/funding. I'm just trying to get ideas on how this could play out in 20ish years?
