given my theory that gold is just as fake as the dollar, it all comes down to liquidity. dollars are easily liquidated at a whim. gold is always bought at a premium, and sold at a discount.
when the dollar shows signs of collapse, I'll be buying food, water, and shelter. you can eat your gold.
jokes on you, I don't have any.
even if I did, I would keep it just like I keep my dollars. both are assigned value, which means both can be traded for something.
all I'm saying is that could change easily
So you want house-of-cards fiat backed by nothing and which will endlessly inflate until worthless.
We had zero inflation until 1913.
Zero.

Buying with what?
