<<- But if you are hungry, choose gold or bread? If there is enough bread that can be cook somewhere, gold will always buy it. Bread rottens over time.>> If you have way more bread than you can eat before it rots...its not bread...its money, lol. <<- The value of gold is as much a leap of faith as the dollar is. I disagree. Gold is the only store of value in which faith has been maintained for milleniums. The faith in fiat currencies gradually fade and eventually disapear completely.>> Yet another fiat currency always seems to pop up in place of the old one. I haven't studied these situations well enough, but when a currency really collapses, is it just under its own weight, or is it really caused by political and social revolution and a vulnerable currency is taken down with the rest?
