> Why anyone would go to gold during a societal collapse I will never know
Depends on the type of collapse. For a localized collapse during which the rest of the world is better off, gold is great to have, as it will generally garner better purchasing power for global goods than the local currency.
But yes, gold won't be particularly useful in anything resembling a global collapse.
