Fuck, there go my plans to use South America as a last possible fallback if shit keeps getting worse.

Yeah this is why I don't do charity, at least not via any organisation. I'll give straight to someone who needs it without involving any 3rd parties at all.

If they keep this up they might significantly cripple one part of Russia's nuclear triad.

Worse, they would use it as pretext for "retaliatory" strikes.

Those are still coming, no doubt, but they'll have a harder time spinning the story.

Every so many years I fire up a King's Quest or Space Quest.

It isn't even safe today, but people still do it.

Even at the basest level of society that we might fall back to, there will be a need for stores of great value in order to make larger trades. You can't effectively trade large scale without it. Which might not be relevant right after a full system failure, but definitely afterwards.

So much FUD and complete misinformation here. Gold, first and foremost, is a store of value and a hedge against inflation. It's a terrible investment. That said, if you bought 10k worth of gold 5 years ago, you would now have 20k. Which is obviously a higher return than most savings products or some actual investments.

It's a hell of a lot safer than BTC and if society does collapse, it will absolutely retain its value.
