Reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode where the crew hijacks a gold shipment, puts themselves into suspended animation for 100 years, then wakes up only to find that, in the future, gold is as common as sand.
...in the future, gold is as common as sand...
What if that becomes true!?
I remember that Twilight Zone episode! Great episode (then again, they all were).
The best part is the members kill each other as the episode progresses till there’s just one man left, who dies with all the gold. Only for a man from the future to not how he had so much worthless metal.
