Gold is also insurance. What happens to all of your U.S. dollars if the bottom falls out ?
It's difficult to say which direction gold would go in a crash. During the 1987 crash, gold miners surged 10%. However, gold miners plunged in the financial crisis. Banks sold off and scaled down their commodities businesses since the financial crisis. Therefore, I don't see the panic sell off in gold by the banks because they don't own it.
