<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fools_gold, post: 708856, member: 20669&quot;]Yeah, that&#039;s the wrong scenario for gold hoarding.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that&#039;s the wrong impression people get with gold. If things get to the point where the gov&#039;t doesn&#039;t exist and there&#039;s pure anarchy outside my house, gold will not help me. </p><p><br /></p><p>We all have to pray it never gets to that point. We need to pray we don&#039;t have to even think about bartering. Because let&#039;s face it, the majority of us cannot barter for the life of us. It is not the society we have grown up on and we don&#039;t know how to do it.</p><p><br /></p><p>And for those that have their own farms, that&#039;s great, but don&#039;t expect to be able to find THAT many people that can barter with you as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>But to your point, gold is for the sole purpose (at least for me) to maintain purchasing power during turbulent times such as now. </p><p><br /></p><p>While the gov&#039;t is endlessly stealing MY and YOUR money by printing 24/7, the PM&#039;s are used to store the current value and hopefully more down the road. Gold can be used anywhere in the world.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can use it to exchange for Yuan&#039;s if you want. But your USD may not be accept for Yuans.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think of it as financial shelter. My home is my security/safety shelter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
