What's the Real Interest in Gold?

Is anyone really interested in gold? I mean really who cares right? Erwin Witt, chronically negative on gold claims gold will be in a bear market for 100 years!!!! Do you believe him? If not, let him know here.

Sometimes we find the simplest things from God itself, Google. A simple search for "gold" produces:

That's 2 Billion.

Any interest?
