Gold and silver serve as an agreed upon means of exchange in a civilized society. I will quote a survival expert. "Should you buy Gold and silver? That's up to you, I will say that during WWII German families left the city with suitcases of very expensive silverware and came back with suitcases of very expensive vegetables."
if you can afford gold and silver, make sure you have food, water, and ammo first.
The silverware is what was used to buy the vegetables. Metals are a storage of wealth in that they can always be traded for, a reasonable value of, whatever commodity is needed at the moment.
Edit: That is not to say you shouldn’t be stocking other necessities as well. I am merely saying that metals are one of the necessities.
Buddy...an EMP will completely destroy every aspect of your livelihood. Bitcoin is the LEAST of your worries.
And bullets will matter more than gold or silver then anyway.
Precious metals
Silver
Gold

Honest question, why was gold and silver important before electricity, but not after?
