Ok, Here's a scenario. (post SHTF)


I have killed a couple of pheasants and about a week later I am about to sit down to a nice roast pheasant when there is a knock at the door.
A person outside has smelled the roasting bird and they are starving, I'm also very hungry because it's been a tough winter and food is scarce.

'Please can I buy a bird off of you? They ask.
'What have you got to barter? I ask.
'I have this van full of gold' They say.
'Can I eat it? I ask.
'No!' they reply.
'Can I plant it?' I ask.
'No!' They reply
'Is it a weapon or a tool that i can make use of ?' I ask .
'No!' They reply.
'Then my answer is no!' I reply, 'Your gold is useless'

Who determines how much gold is worth post SHTF?

The Aztecs had an abundant amount of gold but never used it for currency,it was just a pretty rare and shiny metal to them.
There's no Justice, There's Just Us.
