Will it help myself or anyone if I buy "chip gold".....probably not...your right Brinty the threats such as EMP (manmade) or a solar event could be devastating and our society for the most part is ill-prepared and ill-equipped to deal with the consequences.
I do suggest however that a certain percentage of trees are saved as their leaves and branches will substitute for the lack of toilet paper.
