As opposed to 'fake' copper wire?

Hahaha..

Most all copper wire on the market is soft draw
and will break after a few years of constant

tension. Hard draw copper wire is very tough

and robust. I use 18g lamp safety wire. This is

the thin copper wire that servers as a safety

ground and as a safety wire in case a link in

the lamp chain breaks in hanging chandeliers.

Copper wire should NEVER be used as your ground because ( the reasons
you stated, in addition to... ) the inductance value is **** poor.
Copper strap is always desirable over wire. FWIW, many people, hammies
included, feel they are using copper wire when they are in reality using
copper COATED wire. No matter,,, copper wire doesn't compare to copper
strap.
