So astoundingly wrong.

Nope. Gold is a luxury item for when civilization is on kilter. When civilization gets knocked off kilter, as happens every few centuries it seems, then gold is nothing but a lump of yellow metal that is a pain to haul around everywhere. It only becomes valuable again when people start thinking it's valuable again.

So much better to “haul around” a few bales of worthless fiat currency when civilization gets knocked off kilter, right?
