it's all fiat

It wasn't always

Gold for example

It is now

Lol I was in finance for a while

Yeah I'm not high level on these discussions. I just know a lot of people who think it will work. You ever read any taleb to take a tangent?

if the gov collapsed would gold actually maintain value

Not short term

Nah I don't have a lot of reading time outside of my coursework unfortunately

Gotcha

Gold will always hold value

He made a lot of money off of the markets and is pretty critical of finance

ive heard that axiom but what is it based on

It's rare and people want it

bullets, medicine, and cigarettes/alcohol will be the new diamonds though

Short term yes

the nature of gold as an element then?

Gold has been valueable for as long as people have lived

In some sense

its visibly rare

If you're worried about a collapse, buy ammo

and medicine

and training

and seeds

and learn how to can food

and grow food

and clean water

yeah once im out of college

>he didn't grow up on a farm

<:cringe:402359483117862932>

grandparents sold it

I kid man lol

I was just blessed

all good lol

if you're worried about a collapse then ball out

jk buy ammo and shit\

The type of collapse matters.

Weapons and food will be useful but if order is not restored relatively quickly I doubt many of us would make it

whats the best way to get pratice with something bigger than hunting rifles/shotguns

I won't make it longer than a few months without inhalers

so fuck the collapse
