I think the collapse of the fiat system would be apocalyptic for us. To know what happens when credit systems break down, David Graeber's book on debt is available free to the public: https://libcom.org/files/__Debt__The_First_5_000_Years.pdf
He is a communist and therefore unspeakable, but no other historian or economist I've read sets out the history of debt and the matter of 'gold as currency' in such lucid terms as he does.
We should get rich if we have the opportunity to do so. It's not such a bad thing to happen to us, after all.
