Actually, there are companies out there recommending getting out of gold and buying Bitcoin instead. I hear it's making a comeback.
I wonder what righties would use to barter and trade with if the apocalypse hit? That cash stashed in the mattress would be useless.
Gold is better. What is bitcoin worth if computers go down? Gold also has real world uses other than just currency. The dollar goes down so does the world. Nukes would fly.
What good is buying gold, if the banking system goes down? Do you think Target or your mortgage company will accept a "gold IOU"? Where do you plan to go to cash in your certificate for actual gold? Do you think the "gold warehouse" will be the one location that is immune to society-wide collapse? Then how do you plan to spend it? Gold will not be currency if society collapses, because nobody will have any use for it whatsoever. Same for bitcoin. The value of gold is no less "fiat" than the value of a dollar bill.
What value will gold have in an economic collapse? The only things of value would be hard goods, food, and things that people need use. Hard metals like copper, iron, will have more value than gold or silver.
