Bartering with the rich, lol. They'll just have their goon shoot you and take your shit. The only thing preventing that -today- is that the shit hasn't hit the fan. Any scenario in which gold and silver has value, isn't, to my mind, a shit hits the fan scenario. More an issue of the global average, lol. The historical value of gold and silver were bound up as ornamentals, you collected them as a show of wealth. If people still have an eye (and the time) to make sparkly jewelry how bad can it be?
Trying to barter with me, with gold, over a bag of seeds come the apocalypse, would be frustating for you. Personally, I wouldn't even rob you. A bullet is worth more than all of your gold, and I wouldn't want to risk breaking my wrist trying to crush your skull over some coins. The gold against the end times market is just that, a market, made for people living in places where the shit has not and will not hit the fan. Pandering to a consumer, not a survivor. Mostly, they prey on the elderly with their knock off "mints". "Gold is at an alltime high, nows the time to buy!" "Gold has never been lower, now is the time to buy!" "The worlds getting shitty, buy gold" "Things are going great, hedge against the future with gold". LOL, fucking gold, has there ever been another substance that was the source of so many poor decisions?
