My favorite is people who think gold and silver will matter. Nope.

Ammo, instant coffee, antibiotics. Cheap now, can keep for years, light weight and useful to everyone.

Seems like they'd matter more than the electronic number of a non-existent/inaccessible bank account of one's so-called wealth? But I agree that all such instantly barterable items are a better commodity.
