“A pack of cigarettes is worth more than gold these days, and the price goes up every day,” resident of Allepo in the period of heavy crisis.
Gold has no value in the period of crisis. No electricity? No food? No medicine? No fuel? In such conditions the food and water are much more valuable assets than gold. You can't eat gold and the gold won't make you warm at cold night. If you believe that the gold will save you in the time of collapse you're completely wrong. Buy the land instead of gold, buy a riffle, make some fuel and food reserves.
During the 1930s famine the soviet citizens has been selling their gold items for a little food. 1/2 oz gold watches = 5 a loaf of bread. Great value, isn't it?
If you are sure that there will be a serious crisis ahead and want to be safe you should consider buying a self-sustaining farm.
Also think about this! 2015: ID/OD ~ 0.1. Only 10% of gold is needed for industry.

Money worth nothing, gold worth nothing if there is no consumption of gold. I can imagine myself without gold but can not imagine myself without food and water. If you can than you might be a superhero or a dreamer)
P.s Please, don't send me a videos about how it's cool to eat gold. Surely, you can eat gold, there are some benefits from taking colloidal but you won't survive if you will eat only gold.
