They didn't. Life expectancy was like 35 years old. After polio, measles mumps, small pox, chicken pox and other vaccines were introduced life expectancy doubled. I got all kinds of vaccine shots back when I was in grade school. Back then it was No shots-No school. I don't recall any resistance to getting vaccinated. Parents loved their kids and wanted them to survive. :-)
This is completely false and a really dumb narrative to continue to perpetuate. The vaccine schedule nearly increased by 12 times from the 80's to the 90's. 200 years ago, our population was primarily farmers and workers. That style of life led to a long and healthy life. Sure, disease was less understood then and it was probably easier to ingest bacteria riddled food from lack of technology, but blaming not having vaccines on a shorter life span (which, how do you know? The same companies pushing the vaccine schedule are the ones saying oh vaccines have saved lives), is silly. We revere modern science as the new "God." I would be very, very, cautious of that.

Starvation is a perfect motivator, people learned to use precious metals as a medium of trade before, they can do it again. It won't be the only way to do it, but food spoils, and even a barter system will need a way to store value in a non-consumable form.
Nobody will care about your gold.

The cure to starvation is food, and the means to procure food is guns and friends.

Gold is stupid for the apocalypse, as it's stupid for now. Nobody will care.

The idea of a post-apocalypse scenario where your gold will matter is just silly.

And the existence of the grid is bitcoin's only achilles heel. It's superior in every other possible respect by miles.

Just think of that guy trying to do the same experiment but with crypto currency. Same results. The average person (most people) haven’t got a clue about the value of anything besides fiat money. That’s why most people are in the shape they are in.
I would even bet if he stood out there with a $100 bill and tried to sell it for $20 no one would buy it because people wouldn’t trust him. The Experiment proves that the average person wouldn’t buy anything he is selling because they just don’t trust someone on the street trying to sell something.
There are 70 million bitcoin users and that will multiply by 10 in the next few years. It's got a much shallower learning curve than gold, and far more current users anyway.

And this is correct. I probably wouldn't buy a 100 dollar bill from him for 20 bucks. Because I wouldn't trust it.

Thanks for showing how superior BTC is to fiat or gold.

Please let China and Russia know how worthless Gold is so that they will quit buying and hoarding it at the fastest pace ever.

I didn’t show you how superior BTC is nor has anyone tried the same experiment with BTC on the street. If it was superior in the experiment you showed then people on the street would buy it from someone selling it. If I have money in the bank I can go to the bank (physically or over the internet) to trade my digits in for money. If I have BTC I can go to a physical place or over the internet to change my digits into money. If I have gold I can to go to a physical place or over the internet (find a buyer) to turn my gold into money. So I will take any of the above in a bad situation.

BTC doesn't need to be turned into money. It is money.

The characteristics of money are durability, portability, divisibility, uniformity, limited supply, and acceptability. Bitcoin outranks everything in all characteristics.

It's more portable. It's more divisible. It's more uniform. It's more verifiable. Its supply is more limited. And those things make it more acceptable.

Gold faces the same annual inflation problem as others. The maximum number of bitcoin is fixed forever.

The security from government or neighbors is also unmatched. Nobody with guns, whether government or anyone else, can take it from me.

10 years ago, an ounce of gold bought over 100 bitcoin.

Today, an ounce of gold buys 0.03 bitcoin.

Relative to bitcoin, gold's purchasing power is worth 1/3000th of what it was.

Alternately, gold lost 99.97% of its value relative to BTC. The math is funny no matter how you put it.

The market has spoken.

I Googled life expectancy in the 1800’s. It was from 35 to 40 years old. Google is your friend.

You don't understand why people being dumb made gold and jewels valuable to begin with. "Ooooh.... Shiny! Pretty! I want!"

This is a truth that has stood the test of time. It is immutable. Hope this helps.

And now all those people have moved on to something shinier, more secure, more portable, cooler, and better.
