I try to think of it this way Saturn V:

forget about nominal values and define gold as money

and see currency as a commodity

( Shedlock has a good definition of what we call money but is really currency:

so I reckon there are opportunities trading currencies and other commodities to increase your wealth but countries or individuals who end up with the gold/money in a massive deflationary environment "win"

Those consumers are just going to have to do nothing much - just sit around watching their assets deflate (relative to money/gold) and probably getting quite upset about it all as the drama of the next few years unfolds
