Comment on Gold hits $3,500 for first time as US dollar sinks to three-year low

I’m not giving away precious ammo or food for gold. Either you’ve got something of value, or I’m not taking your gold. Period.
I’m talking about an extremely desperate situation, inherent to the whole “society collapse” phrase. I stand by this. Gold doesn’t mean shit. It only means something if people like you apply value to it, where there’s still some semblance of societal order and structure.

Gold, silver, etc was not valuable until we had a society that had currency. In societal collapse we’re back to bartering and Gold is worthless except as a fancy trinket. The value of gold is a status symbol of having so much you can give away actual value for frivolous bullshit. The average peasant farmer can’t make use of it.
