    The thing is most of my gold (i.e. ~20% of my portfolio) is as ETFs. Good luck to me using that when civilisation collapses, if it does (I don’t think that’s happening in the shape and form as it sounds from this article). But then it was not likely at all I would be able to safeguard that in the physical gold form either in that perceived atmosphere of tyranny and mayhem, so that’s there.

    One could, however, look to reduce or balance (whatever you wanna call it) USD exposure.

      Exactly. If you don’t own physical gold, whatever you own is vapor on paper the second they decide it is. I’m in the same boat.
