Gold held it's value before we started counting the years from the death of christ.

It was valuable when britain was pairing criminals and prostitutes in handcuffs and shipping them to the US to populate the damn place.

It is valuable even today when there are people willing to risk death just to reach its shore..

I am willing to bet it will remain being valuable even when America becomes an irrelevant once-was in a few decades..

I want to know which asset class will survive the collapse of the US dollar and the fall of US influence...?

If your answer to that question is, "that's just absurd, never going to happen in my lifetime.." I can just smile and wish you all the best..
