Thanks for the chuckle I got from that video exchange between Gore and Valentine. Impossible, of course, to expect Gore would speak so forthrightly, which was what made it so funny.

Regarding savings, if hyperinflation hits, having cash will not be much good. Gold will be good, as will food that preserves well. Fuel does not preserve well, as a rule. I have no confidence in digital mechanisms, of which BTC is one, as censorship is all that is necessary to prevent it's utility.

Better to be knowledgeable about how to grow food, make fuel, and provide essential services that will all be necessary to folks in every economic circumstance, and barter for things you can't make yourself.

Thanks!
