I've never understood the ones who horde gold.

Gold has pretty much zero value (apart from some specialist electronics applications), and crucially your can't eat nor drink it!

They seem to think that after the apocalypse, all our currencies will have no value (ie people will no longer exchange them for goods and services), but gold will!  :palm:

It's strange though, before fiat money, gold was used as money for a very long time. Before that and in other places people have used rare but worthless things like clamshells. Money is weird in the sense that whatever is used as money becomes more valuable simply because it is used as money (since that increases demand for it). So, money is whatever people believe it is. :scared:

Apocalipse or not, I can assure you that in 50 years the notes you carry in your pocket, whatever the country, will have no value. Gold will.

The beauty here is that neither nature nor we cant manufacture gold, but bills and coins...
