I feel like this is one of those things governments might get paranoid about because their treasuries are based on a high (constantly increasing increasing due to limited amount) value of gold. Imagine one country figuring out how to produce gold and then every other treasury starts losing it's value.

I wonder what the next "ground currency" will be once we can replicate everything at the atomic level. I'm hoping it's human trust
