Point taken.
I was issued a rather high limit gold card many years ago and got so far in debt that digging out was very difficult. Since then, credit cards are of very little interest to me.
That was years ago though and now learning their utility hasn't been a priority. Maybe it should be.

Yes. The concern is that some clever country or corporation will develop technology that changes lead to gold, or mines gold out of ocean water, or the like. Increasing the gold supply.
Rumors from Wiki, Reddit and TheMillineumReportDcom describe the technology existing
now. They are allegedly not practical because of energy consumed in the process.
