The bitcoin in my mind is no less imaginary than the 10 commandments, which are written in so many copies around the world that they can’t just be forgotten (they’re really even more secure, because you can’t change a single UTXO without rewriting the entire chain thereafter… virtually impossible)

Also your gold is just a shiny rock unless you can find someone to trade you something for it. Desert island gold is no more useful than desert island Bitcoin.

It's a little more useful. It's a physical metal I can shape into a bowl to carry water.

Carry it over the Ukrainian border when escaping war with your family.

Will you have the necessary metallurgic tools to shape gold on that island by yourself?

a source familiar with the matter 2y ago

Pure gold is a very soft metal and can be hammered into shape with a rock.

But I'm planning for fiat collapse, not the literal evaporation of all tools.

I think in a fiat collapse I might lose electricity or Internet temporarily.

I don't think my metal coins will evaporate.
