if 90% of the world's population is living in the 2nd and 3rd worlds, they don't give a rat's if the west all go to hell in a hand basket. they don't have the time or the inclination to ponder such intangibles, they're flat out gettin' a feed up their guts.'' the first ones now will later be last, 'cause the times they are a changin' '' apologies to r.zimmerman. so i take it that once gold rules, you'll be able to exchange it for... guns an' ammo, tickets to the footie and a four 'n' twenty. with no currency, gold too will be worthless...can't eat it.....can't drink it....can't live in it....can't smoke it. i guess we could make it into graven images and worship it like the mayans or mesopotamians, but seriously what use is gold going to be when tshtf. better off with a stash of than a metal whose usefulness as anything other than an electronic conductor is questionable. all the jewellery in the world then becomes valueless as there is no means of exchange other than barter. sorry, forgot about the new ''world currency'', that i gotta see. north korea springs to mind. cambodia and year zero also. jimmy jones and all the doomsday people. the only thing missing from this thread is a deity. arghhh.
