Gold is often touted as having intrinsic value but it’s just a shiny metal that is relatively unreactive and rare.  
  
 Yes in zombie scenarios I would rather have food, but I would still argue that while inflation is possible with dollar, we’re not even close to approaching some sort Weimar Republic scenario since our economy actually produces value and goods.

I'm right there with you on all of that. Our military presence and intellectual property alone helps support the relative worth of the USD. Power is valuable like that.
