Friedrich Nietzsche : A Gold Bug?

Who doesn’t love a good Nietzsche quote?

My personal favorites include:

“In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.”

Almost anyone who buys gold understands why this makes sense. It takes guts to purchase gold even though we have clear proof that gold outperforms every currency on the planet over time.

Since buying gold is now considered somewhat of an alternative investment, you are going against the crowd buy buying it.

“The way to transmute your iron duty into gold in everyone's eyes is this: always deliver more than you promise.”

Nietzsche is highlighting the importance of gold by making it the end goal as something achievable and desirable. Gold might be seen as a status or end goal here.

“Whatever is gold does not glitter. A gentle radiance belongs to the noblest metal.”

I believe Nietzsche is literally saying what is gold does not glitter....but radiates. This is to imply a deeper importance surrounding gold than just its shine. It’s intristic value and historic protection against debasement.

Also, in physics, gold is one of the very few Noble metals.

“From the sun did I learn this, when it goeth down, the exuberant one: gold doth it then pour into the sea, out of inexhaustible riches, -So that the poorest fisherman roweth even with golden oars!”

I have no idea what Nietzsche is trying to say here, but it sounds good.

“Give me today, for once, the worst throw of your dice, destiny. Today I transmute everything into gold.”

It is clear that in THIS quote Nietzsche is referring to the Menē 24 karat gold dice. What other explanation could there be.

Friedrich Nietzsche had a lot to say about gold. And why wouldn’t he?

He was a genius!
