    That's a daring play.

    Gold was a solid investment for like a decade there

    I think I've related this before, but because 9/11 kinda traumatized / fascinated me, for about 5 years after it first happened, I fell asleep listening to the radio news

    And they reported on the price of gold regularly, and this was right when gold was bouncing off the bottom

    It heavily skewed my view in gold as a sure-fire investment

    hey investing in precious metals is still part of well-balanced portfolio

    buying fucking lumps of gold/sliver to keep in your desk drawer is not

    but like

    what is the value of gold and silver in a post-nation state where money has no value?

    This always bothered me

    Gold and silver are basically fiat currency... real value is like, bullets and food and fuel

    And coke bottle caps obviously

    Can you acquire a steady supply of hops and grains? Can I suggest looking into making hard alcohol instead? You can make that with almost any fruit or vegetable.

    Different view of paranoia then. They would have been seen as either slightly paranoid or well prepared. The Cold War created a higher base level of paranoia.

    Man, this office drives me crazy sometimes.

    We can't turn on the A/C in my area because ONE person gets cold. Everywhere else in the entire goddamn company is comfortably cool, but here, nope. So I'm trying to be more active by walking home for lunch and when I get back I'm uncomfortably warm but there's no cooling off because it's so goddamn hot in this fucking office so I sit here slowly soaking in sweat because I can't cool off.

    I even have a goddamn desk fan and it's barely keeping me sane.

    yeah but outside of advanced manufacturing gold and sliver only really have value as jewelry metals,

    which, you need a certain level of society happening before pure luxury goods start having value

    Theoretically grains should be the first thing to pop up after the fallout, hops would be harder but you don't need many...or really any at all depending on the style of beer.

    Hard alcohol is much more difficult as is requires a much more robust yeast strain and infrastructure.

    yeah but presumably if things are so dire that we no longer have fiat currency and a federal gov the value of like, gold for making electronics is prob gonna be much less than like, the value of food and weapons for surviving

    Depends on what you mean by "advanced manufacturing". You're certainly not going to have aluminium in a prepper situation. Copper, gold, silver are all pretty great metals. I'd say copper is the better investment in the long run though. Though in a prepper situation, you can just strip that shit from power lines and houses.

    yeah id agree about copper but no preppers are storing/buying copper to my knowledge it's usually gold (and maybe silver?)

    oh yeah copper would be way better, you can make shit with copper and it's easier to work than iron
