    Gold allows you to buy things if you don't want to shoot people to get what you want. With general civil breakdown money becomes worthless.

      I don't know about that. During total break down of civilization, why would anyone care about pieces of metal?
      I would think that most people would likely depend on trading and bartering for things that they could make real time use of like food, water, soaps, and specialized services that knowledgeable people could offer. -Mechanical skills, medical skills, child care, cooking, hunting and the like.

        Bartering works too. Even in today's markets the price of gold changes like a currency, not really like a commodity.
