It's one of the reasons I've been pulling out cash and staging it on the side, along with metals. You never know when the ATM will stop working because you post... here.
With metals, I don't know where to start. I know I can buy a car with Bitcoin. And, around here, I can buy an ATV, half a cow, or a rifle with silver, because it's valued by like-minded people. But I doubt I could take that car to a shop for work and pay in silver. Or buy general groceries. So what's the play? Stash metals and exchange for cash? Hope for greater acceptance of metals? I'm just stuck. I can see the value but not the utility in them.
