Meh, in a true SHTF situation, screw lugging around heavy pieces of metal. Food, bullets, booze, tobacco, medical supplies, etc will be much more valuable than a shiny rock. Maybe it is an older generation thing but I know every one of my friends that think about SHTF type scenarios have the same mindset. Shiny metals would be way down the list of things we'd trade our items for. We'd rather things that actually served a purpose.

Possibly, but it doesn't serve the same purpose or convenience. In a true SHTF situation throwing some bars in a bag is way better than some crypto wallet cash-out attempt.

Should there be a massive solar flare that wipes out all thing electrical (Carrington event like), gold won't be harmed.

A Warning from History: The Carrington Event Was Not Unique

Sept. 1, 2020: On Sept. 1st, 1859, the most ferocious solar storm in recorded history engulfed our planet. It was “the Carrington Event,” named after British scientist Richard Carrington, who witnessed the flare that started it. The storm rocked Earth’s magnetic field, sparked auroras over Cuba, the Bahamas and Hawaii, set fire to telegraph stations, and wrote itself into history books as the Biggest. Solar. Storm. Ever.
