These are interesting discussions. The selling side is largely untested in a crisis scenario in recent history at least and would likely revolve around trade or barter in the worst cases; scenarios in which stocks, cryptos and the like would be utterly of no use. In more functional times as you say, various instruments offer various degrees of functionality and return. I do know that the few items that survived the prior generations of my family have not been in the form of equities or to some extent even real estate. Thanks for the thought provoking input!

Appreciate your feedback and I think we are of a similar mindset. I like some chaos hedge items to help me sleep well at night but I also know the world has a way of not ending. With that in mind I have to play both sides and not over commit to either. Predicting a crash or war will most certainly be a correct prediction...it's getting the timing right that is the tough part.
Couldn't agree more! Almost any prediction become easy with an unrestricted timeline, it's getting the event and the timing correct that makes things hard.
