Gold bars selling out at Costco at $1900 a pop

[C50]

I have wondered before about the "Gold for a crisis" philosophy. I'm starving and need to survive, and someone has enough fish to make a meal. I have an ounce of gold. What do I do? Do I get change for an ounce of gold? You might be better off hoarding a bucket full of junk silver. Better yet, a handful of bullets or arrow heads.

If a crisis gets bad enough a can of soup will be worth more than its weight in gold.

If we are truly considering gold as the only form of barter during a complete world crisis, then we got bigger problems than gold.

i look at gold as a play on a weaker dollar as i would foreign stocks which depend on the dollar
