If someone works out how to make gold cheap. Then the current value of all gold will collapse and there were be a huge supply of shit that's been covered in dust in a vault for 100 years.

Very true. Unfortunately, this process just pulls gold from dilute sources and gathers it into nuggets, from small ones to very very large. No gold is being made new though, that would be great.
