Do you think this might happen? If so what >would be a good store of value? Considering that most countries in the world do NOT back their money with gold, it would not make all that much difference to the value of Earth's currency. Also, the cost to extract the gold out of seawater would probably remain too high for the worth of gold. We have been extracting gold from seawater, in small amounts for experimental purposes, for decades, so this is nothing really new.
