There has to be a war for there to be a situation like that. There have been numerous financial resets and currency melt downs and you do not see Mad Max scenarios.
You're presuming a scenario of where society retains enough cohesion for trading with gold and silver is still possible. It's a likely scenario, though I'm also preparing for one where mobs of retarded leftist zombies will come to ransack and steal everything they can once the cities run out of food,South Africa style. Means of defense, life skills (plumbing, electric, electronics, mechanics, sewing, cooking,etc) and manpower in numbers to do all the work and bolster the defenses of your local community retain more value during times of grave social turmoil, in my opinion. I'd be happy to know your opinions on the subject.
I've dabbled with cryptos a little (mostly via steemit), after a while of watching the values shift I started seeing the connection of how tightly coupled large buys and sells were to the overall market. Extending out to BTC impacting Steem coins value, eventually it became undeniable that the overall value of the market was due more to how much money was put into the market (or removed from).
When you have an investment whose value depends on future investments you have, by definition, a ponzi scheme.
Unless you're facing werewolves, lead is just as precious as gold and silver, if not more, when SHTF.

Dust Bowl would beg to differ. Anyway, stay safe, stay prepared. God bless you and everyone you love, fren.

You can trade lead for other things.
Cheaper for the lead-holder, and equally valuable for the seller.
Especially if you have a lot less silver than lead.

The crytpo people hate that being pointed out.
