Maintaining Value: Platinum or Gold
- In terms of properties
Platinum, commonly known as the white gold, is a very rare precious metal. With extra high density, it’s tough and wear-resistant, and it remains stable in many harsh environments.
Gold, which is the general equivalent in the world, has stable chemical properties, good ductility, good corrosion resistance and very soft texture.

- Of rarity
The reserves of platinum are less than gold, and it can be mined in very few places in the world. It is said that if all the platinum in the world is poured into an Olympic standard swimming pool, its depth cannot cover your foot. Compared with gold, platinum is 30 times rarer than gold, so it is more valuable in terms of its rarity.

- Of attribute
Gold is the general equivalent in the world and can be used as currency. People often buy gold to prepare for inflation. For example, when the world is facing a financial crisis, banks of all countries will store gold, because gold is a kind of stored value metal.
