Or, going by The Hobbit, the gold was just lying around next to all these dwarf skeletons when the dragon moved in

Awfully generous of Smaug to keep an eye on it, in case anyone tried to sneak in and steal it

Like those dirty little hobbitses

Yes but the book explains smaug was drawn there by its riches. Dragons are just greed metaphors after all though the question remains of dragons are drawn to riches themselves or the aura of greed of those who amassed it.

It's an innate trait of dragons to seek out riches, I would assume from the time when Morgoth twisted whatever creatures would eventually become dragons.
