Well… for anyone not familiar with it, watch one of the most brilliant episodes of Twilight Zone: The Rip Van Winkle Caper

The few (if any) examples you can name were probably during times when gold and silver were a dominate form of currency. Gold and silver are not a form of currency today outside of the most minute minority imaginable

I assure you that the world’s central banks consider gold the ultimate form of currency and value.

And based on the record level of gold purchases they’ve been accumulating the past five years, they know something that we don’t.

We are talking SHTF here. Like as we know it not existing. Central banks do not play into that equation so IDGAF what they are doing in relation to this scenario. If its a short term global crisis (I.e. Great Recession) or regional crisis, then I see PMs having a purpose. In a SHTF scenario, no, zero purpose.
