Default Re: Would it make sense to avoid using a bank?

Can someone please explain to me what value gold and silver will be after an economic meltdown? These things only have value because, like the fiat currencies, someone somewhere has decided they have value.

I ca't eat, drink or use gold/silver in any way to enhance my life, other than to use it to "buy" resources from someone who has decided the gold/silver has some kind of value.

I can see much more sense in using what fiat currency we have to buy things of real worth, commodities that can be used for survival.
