Stop with all the hardcore mind f*** games.

Gold and silver is a currency for many people, but not very many people have an abundance of gold coins laying around, and so if gold and silver is going to be the currency after a breakdown then let's just say that 9 out of 10 people won't have any currency okay so along with your little system where people are going to use gold and silver because the ATMs are closed down because the banks are closed down the one thing you're going to have present in the situation is chaos because when people don't have food to eat people are going to engage in chaos so..

If a collapse takes place and I have food if I have supplies to eat if I have water to drink I won't trade you a cup of water for a pound of gold.

OK but a cow farmer will trade me a quarter cow, butchered and chopped into perfect meat for half an ounce... Because otherwise what? He'll let it rot instead of taking the metals?

No the rancher will not let his meat and crops spoil, because in the time of collapse there will be a much greater demand than there is a supply.

If you were stranded in the middle of the Sahara desert and you had an ounce of gold, could you trade that gold to someone for water? If someone has water in the Sahara desert then the water is the gold and the gold is worthless like sand.

Sorry but the Sahara is too far from here, it's not FUCKING RELEVANT.

I'm blocking you because of your obstinately asinine views.
