&lt;p&gt;I heard a survivalist say when the crash comes he&amp;#39;ll have rice and bullets while gold bugs have yellow pieces of metal.&amp;nbsp; What good is gold in a world regressed to bartering?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If everybody has rice, what good is rice for barter?&amp;nbsp; It seems to me that if we reach that point the market will decide what the best money is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Rice or yellow pieces of metal?</title><link>https://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/thread/323701.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 14 Apr 2010 05:10:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">944abf2b-d1be-4bf2-990d-438cb0e377e9:323701</guid><dc:creator>Banjo</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/thread/323701.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=27&amp;PostID=323701</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;I heard a survivalist say when the crash comes he&amp;#39;ll have rice and bullets while gold bugs have yellow pieces of metal.&amp;nbsp; What good is gold in a world regressed to bartering?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My thought is it&amp;#39;s still a medium of exchange but I don&amp;#39;t know.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
