It is better than throwing wadded up fiat dollars... but essentially the point of having it is to preserve wealth... it is better than dollars. You can only have so much food/supplies before it becomes too big to store. If things ever get that bad I’m finding Rich G’s bunker and there will be plenty to go around.

In all seriousness though, hopefully everyone keeps some basic supplies in the event of a major earthquake. People in the Rainier valley should also be prepared and familiar with evacuation routes and have a plan. It is due for an eruption and the fuse is getting shorter.
