What situation would the US collapse not be the biggest global catastrophe since WW2? No matter where you escape everything is collapsing at that point.
All though, to be clear, I think the risk of a collapse isn't worth worrying about. It's like prepping for a nuclear war. The chances of happening are tiny and the chances of surviving are even smaller.
- notch898a 4y agoImagine you're a disgraced german soldier at the end of WWII, Would you rather be holding Reichsmark or gold when you take the ratlines to South America? Even in a collapse there is value in having something value dense you can use in the least collapsed of your options. Of course gold is still a great option, the most obvious disadvantage is it can be physically seized at the border.
