With gold going to triple the price it is = $2000, that's not wheelbarrow territory. And in US$, house prices will also decline. So I will use US$ to buy said portfolio of properties.

The BIG question is the level of political stability in the USA. If debt is wiped and both mortgagees and mortgagors are losing their houses and shirts en masse, and if that leads to economic insurrection and recession, there will be rampaging in the streets and if not in the streets, certainly in the voting booths.

Electorates usually vote to steal OPM. So they will do it again, as always.

If they get too greedy, they will kill the goose that laid the golden eggs and go the way of Argentina - which once upon a time was a wealthy place.
