ELI5:The infatuation that humans seem to have with gold?

All down the lines of history it has been seen as something with value, yet it didnt have any practical use. Why are we so drawn to it?

Let me count the ways...

Gold is pretty shiny and it shines the colour of the sun. Yellow. There's lots of old religions that worship the sun or sun gods and generally the sun gets a lot of respect for making plants grow.

It's a very malleable metal, which makes it great for jewelry. 

It's rare and therefore expensive.

It's expensive, so it becomes a symbol of wealth or a symbol of no expense being spared.

It's inert, so it sticks around for ages.

It's now vital to the electronics industry, so there will always be demand.

It's value doesn't fluctuate anywhere near as much as money, so it makes a good commodity to buy when money looks weak.
