  > why is gold more reliable than BTC? Because in a collapse in which major institutions fail, the gold you have physically on hand will still be on hand, verifiable as gold, and available for exchange, for whatever value it has. BTC, not so much. > If the USA collapses, bullets may become the new currency Sure, bullets may be even better than gold as insurance against a general collapse, but that doesn't stop gold from being better than BTC in that regard.
