Real talk, gold and silver don't have any inherent value either. They are shiny, mediocre semi-conductors. The world has made this gentleman's agreement to value it, but there's no inherent value to it. ...From the psychology of what you want in a precious metal, for show, it's a good choice, but it's not like oil or coal or something you can actually do something with. So, I always thought the argument about the dollar going off the gold standard was kind of specious, because that's pretty damn arbitrary too. Not saying it's not reliable, but just that what's backing it is a commonly agreed upon delusion and not anything substantive.
This was a Planet Money episode about this idea -
