I keep reading things like people in Venezuela buying a house with an oz of gold and a months worth of food with an oz of silver.
How does that even work? Is no money involved in the transaction? Is a third party involved? Is there even a honest market when things have gone to shit so much that people trade their jewelery for goods?
What would such an economic situation look like in Europe/US? Would it be anarchy? Who would accept precious metals? How likely is it that we get to see these conditions too in our lifetime?
Because that sounds like I would have an easier time to buy a house and live wealthy than my current chances.

That doesn't sound realistic, why would someone accept gold, and if it was that easy to obtain property, wouldn't a bunch of gold dealerships just buy up porperties en masse? Since they would probably close shop anyway because money has become worthless they can't do much else with their PM's besides get into realty/landlord quick and easy.
Sounds like people with more than an oz of gold can live life on easy mode when things go back to normal, if they play it right during the colllapse.

No, but it's pretty wild, so better be honest or deal with consequences that are worse than police. If you don't have connections, you are fucked tho. Everyone will scam and rob you blind.

Best guess, we'll have hyperinflated and redenominated by 2024 under a second trump term. The new redenominated USD will be backed by gold and silver something like 1:15 ratio as stipulated under the constitution. USD is instantly the world's strongest currency, US interest rates return to healthy positive figures. As to the trade, sell crypto before your PMs. Crypto will be more valuable only insofar as currency is in transition. PMs will hold greater value after the fact once standards have been established for good delivery and consensus as to a redemption rate for the new currency
