Your answer to the one point the blogger made below warrants this further 
question.  So, if a person does believe that in five, ten years, or less, 
that free markets somewhere in the navigable world will be operating, then 
having 'some' gold is not a terrible idea ?

This has in fact happened over and over through history. Gold was the 
difference between Auschwitz and three meals a day in the Warsaw ghetto -  
probably the most extreme example of societal break down in the last century.

And this has always happened because of the anticipation that a monetary 
system would be reestablished and there would be free  markets in which to 
make use of the gold.
