I never said that, but pretending I did and calling me a bafoon because you lost the logic and reasoning part of the argument is a great way to deflect and back out because your trying to save face.

But since you brought it up, printed paper money would have alot more uses in a survival situation than gold does.

You could use it to start a fire for one thing.

What we are talking about is the fact that gold has no actual value, even as a useful substance like wood or rock does. You can't even make a tool out of it. A random rock has more utility than gold does and do to the abundance of random rocks they are a far more valuable resource when utility is what your after.
