How will people buy it when currency is worthless? It will probably be easiest to relate to the historic value of gold. One ounce of gold has typically the benchmark value of several useful items in America’s history. A good gun and a case of ammo (proper long gun for hunting), a nice suit with shoes, two cows, eight goats or sheep depending on variety, or an entire chicken coop with birds, or a mature or very young horse -can be bought with a single coin. Right now that value is around $1500, but remember that the current “value” of gold is determined by a paper market and is subject to manipulation. As of right now physical gold is worth 100 more than the market value, and this disconnect is an indication that markets are wrong. Post reset I can see the value increasing but I guess the historic benchmark items have to be updated. I can see a time in the future where a gold coin will buy a family a small rv that they can leave their city in. Another gold coin for a ferry ride to get away from the looting masses. Yet another, unfortunately, for a gun to protect their family with. Edit: I don’t think there’s much gold in Fort Knox or anywhere else. In the reserve vaults near metals exchanges, maybe, but the gold we had in the 50’s is long gone. Maybe we stole some back from gaddafi though.
