Yep. As DaddyD pointed out, ammo and whiskey will be better barter material than gold bars if SHTF. If you are more worried about a general collapse of the dollar, Gold ETFs should be fine. If you trust that the electrons involved in Bitcoin or Stocks will work, paper gold will work as well. Or it all won't.
I have never been a fan of physical gold due to bid/ask and storage safety. But I like paper gold for a dollar hedge and real interest rate hedge.
