I wouldn’t trade my last loaf of bread for a wheelbarrow full of gold coins.

The 'Time Bomb' is fiat. Not things.

Things have value: Homes, automobiles, boats, airplanes, gold, silver, and....yes, a loaf of bread.

Here is a useful measure, intrinsic value.

The intrinsic value of a loaf of bread is a full stomach for a meal or two.

The intrinsic value of a fiat dollar is Zero (0).
