On any major catastrophe such as the Texas freeze, we fall back to a barter economy. Possession of physical goods rules. Survivalists know that a store of food, ammo, energy sources is important. Med supplies too, and supplies for production of food all important. Just look at third world countries and know that this is more important for survival than options on gold futures and having the latest iPhone or PS5.

A system collapse will throw us back to 1850 and the Amish will be laughing their asses off.
