Gold has no intrinsic value to me I wonder if as the boomers start to die off if it will start losing some form of value

Unlikely. Part of why gold is so valuable is its inertness. It doesn’t corrode or rust, which makes it great for electronics.
It has some intrinsic value because it's a metal with a variety of applications. It just doesn't have nearly enough intrinsic value to justify its price.
