In conclusion, we need to create gold to get gold, no simulation apart from the creation of the actual physically identical substance will do the job. Consequently, in the case of gold at least, substrate neutrality is false.
That just seems confused to me. Simulated gold would be exchanged on simulated gold markets—where it would work just fine.

You can simulate anything—at least according to the Church–Turing–Deutsch principle.
