Wouldn't the issue be, if it did get boring and have a stable predictable increase in value, that it would then become generally desirable? Then it would no longer be a slow steady rise. So it would be self defeating, I would think. Maybe not.
While gold is generally used as a store of value, it is also desirable as jewelry(see India) and useful in industrial manufacturing. I'm not sure what percent of existing gold is used for those vs a store of value, but at least it has some uses.
