You could say the same thing about paper money or numbers on a computer screen. The difference is that gold has held value for over 5,000 years through wars, empires collapsing, currency resets, and financial crises.
Gold is not really about buying bread during a total apocalypse. It's about preserving purchasing power when governments print too much money, currencies weaken, or debt spirals out of control.
If gold was worthless, why are central banks and major countries buying thousands of tonnes of it every month? Why do governments still hold it as part of their reserves?
And in a complete Mad Max-style collapse, food, water, and survival skills would matter more than gold. But historically, societies recover, currencies change, and gold tends to retain value through those transitions.
The real question is not “Can you eat gold?”
The real question is: “Will your cash still hold its value in 10–20 years?”
