buy useful goods you can trade with later.
If these economic problems knock us back to the stone age you are right... I do not see that happening though. Gold has been something people have valued since pre-historic times. The biggest risk is governments make gold illegal and force you to sell your bullion to them at a rate they set or risk it being confiscated. This has happened before and it was not so long ago.
