    I would agree for the case that we’re truly in end times where nobody has anything and people fight over scraps of food, that gold might be worthless.

    It’s still your best bet for all other scenarios that don’t involve you hiding in a cave and eating bugs.

      And even THEN, gold is a shiny, pretty metal that doesn’t oxidize like other shiny metals. So the tyrants of the apocalyptic wastelands will STILL want it for jewelry.

        I think that’s the moment you don’t want to have Gold on you.

        I think the end times is the short period before the end.

        If it is sudden, gold does matter even less.
