Gold pressed latinum only makes sense to me if there are some things that can’t be replicated. Has it ever been explained?
- Correct, latinum cannot be replicated: http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Latinum
  and for some additional color: https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/5337/why-can-latinum-not-be-replicated

  This link doesn't lead to a statement that latinum can't be replicated, because that's never actually been established on-screen. It makes sense and is almost certainly true, but it remains fanon.
  
  It still doesn't really make much sense in a world where the vast majority of things are replicated. The only things that would give them worth are things that cannot be replicated:
  Specific real estate
  Experiences
  Favors?

@ProdigalFrog
is there a link you are sharing ? just seeing this post (must be a bug reading lemmy-posts ??) from masto ??
- Yes, this post is a link to a video. Not sure why it's not showing up, but I'll post it here as well. :)
