Dream on. The government will just make it illegal for you to own gold, just like they did during the last depression. You will be forced to turn it in for treasury bills. Or you can hide it. Either way it will do you no good.
You’re probably right but gold will always have a value. The challenge then will be to find a good way to hide it. Cash on the barrelhead and a safety deposit box or home safe. Foreign gold mining stocks are another alternative.
