Gold is going to be around for another 50 years, and you'll be able to buy things with it. The US Dollar however is not. I'll tell you what I tell everybody who thinks there's going to be US Dollar hyperinflation: I bet you a trillion dollars that's not going to happen. Seriously though, predictions are tricky, especially about the future. It may be worth injecting a tone of a little more uncertainty into your pronouncements about what's going to happen in the future. Personally I'd have less confidence in the buried gold or the buried dollars than I would about the value of the land you're burying it under.
