Some believe holding a bar of gold or silver offers zero tangible value. I wish those people a lot of luck because every asset they likely hold has significant counter party risk and is denominated only in the $USD
Bars can be traded especially when the $USD has nothing left in the tank in terms of purchasing power. They can also be hidden away from those that missed the boat.
Treasuries, most real estate and equites will be plentiful as their value gets flushed right down the toilet by a hyper inflated $USD
