The answer you already got was good but I would say:

Monero for purchases of all sizes, some donations

Doggie coin for savings, donations of all sizes, some purchases

Bitcoin for savings, donations, and purchases, especially for large amounts

Gold/silver also for savings

Why would i need to use all these. Sounds over complicated?

The world is complicated and all of these are worth using. You don't have to use them, you just have certain risks and limitations for each one you take out. E.g. less privacy if not using Monero

Ok so what are those risks what are the trade offs. Thats what im asking

Universal: remove one, lose more if whatever else you put it in dies/is lost

No doggie coin: more risk of ending up with weaker buying power than other people, if doggie coin continues growing faster than Bitcoin

No Monero: more risk of police state rising up, more risk of being blamed for stuff, possibly more risk of being robbed due to people knowing how much money you have, etc.

No Bitcoin: can't use with retailers that only accept Bitcoin, etc.

No silver: more risk of ending up with weaker buying power, if silver to gold ratio continues historic patterns

No gold: more risk of ending up with nothing if electronics fail, unless you have lots of silver anyway

So mostly your decision is based on fomo

What are you talking about?

I just think that the free market will settle on one coin that will do it all scale/trustlessness/privacy. A god protocol.

How? Why would that happen, how could it even work?

Because its inefficient to work intercoin for trade because of market volitility. Eventually everyone just will want to join the biggest chain that can accommodate privacy and scale without the risk of being rugged by custodial scaling solutions

Then why are there silver holders and a Bitcoin inventor instead of just everyone using gold?

And what's the actual process? Like can you explain with step 1 step 2 step 3 etc how people will stop using gold?

Gold isn't used as money and hasn't been for some time. I don't really have the process mapped out its just what I think the market will gravitate too in seeking efficiency

Gold is definitely used as money and has been for all of recorded history... You're not making sense

Who pays for things in gold

Basically anyone? You could inherit or find some gold unexpectedly and go spend it tomorrow

You mean exchange it for usd

No, it's your choice. I meant spending it. Any good pawn shop will accept it. I would suggest holding it until the dollar collapses first, though
