I'm gonna try to make this short and sweet, because I'm willing to admit I haven't thought enough about it yet.
Confession: I haven't invested in Crypto or Gold/Silver.
A part of me thinks that crypto (Bitcoin and Doge, at least) is a last-ditch money laundering facet to get around the QFS. The Cabal very well may have set it up as a get-out-of-jail (financial jail, not physical) free card.
They can manipulate the prices, drain it low, and then jack it up again with public figures like Elon Musk (still not sure if he is a good guy, I heard he let an AI take his body over, but that sounds stupid). The market is too volatile while simultaneously manipulatable towards the statements of a savvy few.
Gold is safer, but one of the longest held fears people have had about it is that if it is made the standard on which the US dollar is based, would that mean gold can continue to be traded as loosely as it has been? Will there be regulations on sale put in place to avoid outside entities tinkering with the value of the US dollar or by doing something out of Goldfinger, like trying to irradiate Fort Knox and create a time-sensitive gold shortage?
Finally, Trump has to know that he can't allow the average American, who has no gold or crypto, to be victim to the US dollar losing all value -- which would trash savings accounts, and leave all the true wealth in the hands of those with crypto and gold (most of which are probably the Cabal).
No, I'm thinking there has to be a contingency plan for the average guy who knows nothing of this. That's why I'm just saving up for right now. I'm not in debt as I can easily pay off my school loans while retaining 80% of the money in my current bank account.
Is the US dollar safe? Are people with crypto and gold the only ones who are gonna be able to make a living? Are Bitcoin and Doge poisoned wells in an otherwise sound premise for a modern form of legal tender? Are bank accounts safe from Chinese hacks draining entire accounts?
What do you guys think?
I think you brought up some very good points about the actual, real life difficulty of transitioning away from the USD and into gold backed or crypto currencies. It's a hugely complex topic, one which dwarfs the actual DS Satanic Web as a mystery. It is literally the basis of Man's entire civilization, production, services, infrastructure, gah! I'll stop listing facets as money is the Indra's Web of functioning society. That said, it's also the root of all evil.
I had at one point a strong background in the subject, but these days I willfully ignore the topic as I know enough to know I know very little. I'm not proud of that, but it's the truth.
I will say a couple transient thoughts I have while writing this:
The only, as is, solution I can think of (well, the "easiest") would be a totalitarian, world wide seizure of all industry by the military as they recalibrate the global economy. But regardless of who's in charge of it, I view that as a nightmare.
Depopulation (or some FANTASTIC, Otherworldly technology if revealed that changes the entire concept of supply and demand as we know it) wouldn't necessarily be such a bad thing.
The idea of redistribution of seized assets to the Everyman, coupled with VERY well thought out systemic checks and balances on financial instruments and operations might smooth the curve.
If one thinks about it, Communism is theoretically the answer. But unfortunately, Man is flawed and greedy and seeks power over others. Money might always be a problem here on Earth.
As far as the more nuts and bolts parts of your question: One of the first and most important ideas one learns in Finance is "diversification". It'll probably hold true regardless of how this all shakes out. That said, not personally sold on crypto. It reeks of fuckery to me, always has. On the flip side, willful ignorance, etc.
