"gold prices could go (higher) to a number that we simply cannot, at this moment, even imagine"

What you aren't understanding is that with the accompanying social collapse gold will have little more utility than the lint in your pocket.

If a general collapse is to occur, currencies will lose all value. Gold will used to establish credit systems. You won't be carving slivers off your double eagle to buy bread, you will be using your double eagle as collateral for credit to buy bread. Just like in the old days.

In WWII, the Japanese hoarded gold so they could afford what they needed when SHTF. When it did, there was nothing to buy.

Gold is for bridging value across an economic crash, not buying staples during it.
