When SHTF, we're back to a barter society of goods and services. Previous metals and/or Bitcoin will cease to be the currency hedge, it'll just be stuff. Sure you could always trade your precious metals for stuff, but it's between you and whoever you're trading with.
We are IN a cyber connected world man, you are ON this board, ... surely you see the irony in your view of moving off 'cyber-fake shit'. Learning the basics of the internet is fundamental in this day and age.
It comes down to your goals, IF you want to spend your fiat dollars on precious Metals to hedge against the US Dollar, then sure, go ahead. It is no different than buying Bitcoin (which has outperformed Gold and Silver by a large margin).
But if you wish to spend your dollars on ensuring self-sustenance... then don't buy Gold/Silver/Bitcoin, buy the things you need to live off the land, meds, etc etc.
