That bit about fiat being a store of value, ha! That's a dead giveaway this guy is either woefully naive or a stooge of the kabuki masters!
I saw many took that view in the comments. I don't mind them saying its a store of value.. anything other humans see as valuable is a store of value. Houses, Furniture, Gold, Silver, Shells, carved stones, specially printed bits of paper. Anything that is near universally accepted as having value becomes a store of value ... The dollar is currently seen as a store of value - if it were not the cascade would have occurred and our bank account balances would have something other than a '$" before them. Its value is based on the US Government's ability to indenture its citizen's current wealth and future productivity to the Federal Reserve Bank.. Our currency is based on "property rights" - the right of the US Government to treat its citizens productive ability as collateral to take on and pay interest on loans.
The dollar will collapse only when it is seen that ability as being compromised to a degree where that can't be maintained.
There is nothing really different about a paper note and a gold coin. They both have intrinsic value: The paper could still be used to wipe your butt or start a fire. The Gold useful for adornment and some industrial uses. Intrinsic value is ALWAYS separate from Currency Value..
There is no guarantee humans will always find Gold valuable either.. maybe huge asteroids will be found of gold and each person could make a house out of it and have enough left over to pave the streets, and any currency based on gold would then become as valuable as one based on the leaves torn off of trees. If buggy whips were used commonly as currency at some point , they would probably STILL be used as currency today - even though the intrinsic value of a buggy whips has declined drastically.
Gold and Silver have been traditionally used as money simply because they are 1) in short supply 2) not easily counterfeited 3) easily recognizable 4) Humans seem to be impressed or Dazzled when you use it to adorn yourself or your abode and dazzling people is often a useful (and valuable thing)
If people stopped being dazzled by gold and it was seen as just another rock. Watch Mark Dice videos - Chocolate is often perceived by Californians to be more valuable than gold or silver. Most don't see it as money, but as an object, and don't know enough about tat object to know its worth a many boxes of chocolate, just as if I showed you some antique furniture worth $1000s and you might mistake it for a $5 garage sale find. You are unaware of how rare it is, or that there is a market for it, so you undervalue it. If everyone does that, then it becomes a $5 garage sale item.
I know I am harping a bit, but this is really , really important to understand. We may already past the point were people will see Gold/Silver and be ready to accept it as money, and post teotwawki you may be better off with boxes of Hershey bars to trade with. In WWII chocolate(and of course cigarettes) - and with FDR's ration books, those ration coupons became currency since they could be reliably traded for tires, or nylons, or fuel. Its the predictability and reliability of the trade - knowing that it will have value to a lot of someones in the future, that make a thing a store of value, and nothing else.
If we go full mad max, you can bet that beans and bullets care a better store of value than bullion - at least for a time- which is why smart preppers collect all three. You share the world with idiots, and you never know what idiots will find consistently valuable
