If times get bad and u have extra food and clothes u wouldnt trade them for gold? If we do reach the point of total collapse- Paper money worth nothing- What would be the first world wide currency to come back online? Gold and silver? beads u think? lol!
Really? lol.... That's why I will sell my Silver small chunks at a time over $100 an ounce.... Get more worthless paper to get those goods and services....
