If chickens, donkeys, goats, ammo, dried food, etc, etc, etc are liquid in a market, they're "money". Really shitty inconvenient money (some of it you have to feed, even) that's just begging to be proxied by little bits of metal that the market sets the going exchange rate for. Even works in a completely decentralized P2P market like a bazaar, because word travels fast about what the going price for anything is.
You can have your hippy dippy anarcho-libertarian stuff without trading goats and sacks of rice like Africans.
If you purposely define "survival situation" so narrowly as to be the last man on Earth, or at least the last man within 3 days walk.
Oh wait. You're into the "rapture" stuff aren't you. So the "last man on Earth" outcome kinda is in your probability space for planning.
I've never been generally big on "end times" prophecy, more of a regional American Protty thing than a Catholic thing.
You do your thing, you're not gonna change my mind and I won't change yours.

Enjoy your mark of the beast.
lmfao so we've gone from no one will use gold to using gold is the "mark of the beast" now
ok buddy, ok.
No, money is the mark of the beast.
Gold is useless in a survival scenario.
