MANY Jews in Germany had gold and silver, when Hitler took power.
What they needed were guns and ammo.
Once it’s known that you hold gold (physical possession; gold on paper ain’t worth the ink), you will be a target for sure.
Still, back then, some countries refused to take Jews from Germany. Today, where would an American go with confidence? How many expats can be certain they will not be forced to leave because so much hatred is being fomented against us?
You cannot confidently even bribe those who are essentially weak, who have no honor or who despise you. If you can buy them, so can your enemies.
IMO, gold is for starting over again. It will not save any of us from the worst that may happen.
