Once I read an interesting text that compared gold and aluminium, the writer said that if gold disappeared from Earth, we would have a way to replace it with other metals and materials, but the same could not be done in relation to aluminium, because the disappearance of aluminium would make the world collapse.

And the same goes for gold in relation to oil or fuels.

Practically everything you use is petroleum based, whether as fuel, medicine, plastic and other materials in electronic equipment, etc.

Gold and bitcoin are currencies.

How dumb are you not to understand the concept of a currency. You know invented in the bronze age so people didn't have to carry a silo of grain with them everytime they went to the shops and have to barter.

Currencies ain't going anywhere soon and will always be exchangable for commodities.

On the contrary, I understand that they are currencies, but in a catastrophic situation, they will have no value, but blind idolaters cannot see that.

Gold will survive happly

Also, why do you think (((banks))) required a legislation that basically forbids private citizen from owning a usable amount of gold ?
