<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1356337, member: 26302&quot;]No sir there has not always been such a thing. Reciprical trades were the norm of human society for most of its existence. To be a store of value such as gold you must have enough demand for it by wealthy upper classes to value it and be willing to trade for it. The idea of a store of value started with ancient Assyrians and Mesopotamians. The clergy used gold as a symbol of power, and therefor created a steady demand. Copper was demanded for use for agricultural instruments and weapons, so it also evolved as a store of value.</p><p><br /></p><p>In a Mad Max world, where there is no where to escape TO, I simply do not see why people would care to own any PM. Survivalist equipment and supplies will be the only barter worthy items.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my view of course.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
