    Hmmmm, so in this collapse scenario, there’s no internet or electricity, but somehow the infrastructure for melting gold, and the manufacture of things that require gold, just…keeps on ticking?

        You think if we go back to unga bunga times we’re just going to melt down gold and start trading with each other?

        That level of apocalypae and we will have way bigger and more urgent problems than trying to reimplement the gold standard in a world without electricity or internet.

        Like yes, fire, yeah that’s correct it melts gold. But you really think that’s a strong argument for investing in gold over bitcoin?

      My sweet summer child. These things worked before the internet and will work without the internet.
