ORIGINAL: calamitysandra Pahunk, I have asked you before and gotten no answer, but I will try again. Why in the world should anybody want your gold and silver if the scenario you paint will come to pass? Neither of those metals has much intricate value, they are not good for much, and nothing of what they are good at is in any way pertinent for the survival, or basic comforts of the human race. They only have worth because we decide they have worth, in a changed world like the one you are predicting, their worth will be lost. Why should anybody be willing to give up food, or shelter, clothing, or any other basic necessities in return for a largely useless clump of metal? This is what I've been saying for years and years. I'll take that mattress full of cash anytime, over that drawer full of gold. As I've written, gold is called a 'precious' metal. I say what's so precious about it ? Speculating in gold is no different han speculating in sugar...it's called capitalism and one had better not be...the last buyer.
