Will Gold Be Of Any Value When Society Falls Apart And Descends Into Anarchy?

Collapse Of SocietyOne of the great debates among survivalists is regarding the value of gold. One the one hand, gold is one of the few things that will hold its value when the U.S. dollar collapses. On the other hand, you can’t eat or drink gold. That is the position that the maker of the film posted below takes. He advocates focusing on the things that you will actually need: food, water, shelter and protection. But is he being overly dramatic? If so, what kind of future should we all be preparing for? One where there is some level of law and order and where gold and silver will be of value, or one where law and order have completely vanished and the land is ruled by roaming gangs?

Watch the video below and post a comment with your thoughts on this debate. Do you think that gold will be of value in the future that is ahead for us?  We certainly do not agree with a lot of things in this video, but it is thought provoking so we thought that we would post it….

    I don’t think that gold will have nearly as much importance, at least if you’re talking about a Mad Max type of scenario.

    With the enormous debt the United States carries, it is entirely possible that the entire system could collapse. Would gold be valuable in that situation?

    I think it will all depend on the severity of the collapse of civilisation.

    The Saxons and Normans went to war over metals including but not limited to gold.

    Even if gold doesn’t have montary value it will have a usefullness. It’s maleable and very easy to work with.

    So cups and plates could be made quite easily out of it. IF enough could be found.
