Economic forces swing in to play quite quickly. I'd expect after 12-24 months of status quo gold would start to regain value. It is hard to guess where it would sit relative to any other commodity in a post-disaster world, but gold being gold there are worse things to bet on.
Other metals might be better. Although Aluminium corrodes so there must be some situations where gold is superior.
- Rhapso 2y agoSure aluminum oxidizes fast, most of the time that actually protects it. There is just so damn much of the stuff laying around, melt it down every few years, pull off the slag and cast it again. Toss in an extra can after a year or two to make up for the loss.
