Most of the gold was mined out early in the world.
Because it is getting harder to find
Both are hard to find because Diamonds and Gold live in rare places. If you want to find Diamonds or Gold,you might end up with alot of holes.
Gold can be both soft and hard depending on how pure it is, pure gold (24K) is softer than a gold alloy. And the lower the number the harder it is. 10K is harder than 14K, 14K is harder than 18K, and 18K is harder than 24K (pure gold).
No, gold is not harder than pyrite. Pyrite has a hardness of 6-6.5 on the Mohs scale, while gold has a hardness of 2.5-3. This means that pyrite is harder than gold.
No, pure gold is softer than a paperclip. Gold is a malleable metal, which means it can be easily molded and bent by applying pressure. A paperclip is made of steel, which is much harder than gold.
Titanium is used to make gold harder. They often use gold mixed with titanium in jewelry to make it harder.
Silver is harder than gold but softer than copper.

I think that it depends on which is more scarce. The harder it is to find it then the more its worth. But in world trade i think that gold is worth more since we trade it.
Platinum is harder than white gold. Platinum is more durable and resistant to scratches and tarnishing compared to white gold, which is a softer metal alloy that may require more frequent maintenance to retain its appearance.
Platinum is harder. Gold is a very soft and malleable metal and can be pounded into thin sheets quite easily.
Diamond is harder than gold. Diamond ranks highest on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, with a score of 10, while gold ranks around 2.5 to 3, which means it can be easily scratched by harder materials.
