Please, you really think something unique is going to appear now, that hasn’t in 5000 years of human history? Ther is ALWAYS someone willing to trade for gold. Always.
In my case it's a moot issue anyway as I don't have enough money to worry about buying gold.
And I'm not trying to talk you out of buying and trusting in gold...that really is fine with me. You are probably correct, but given the choice between a stock of food supplies or a stack of gold coins...I'll go for the food.
As an aside, I don't know if you ever saw the series Jeremiah or not...I'm sure there are plenty of issues people would take exception to as to the "reality" of the show, but I thought it interesting that one of the primary barter items was canned goods.
