Courageous Lion, it's not too late, unless the nukes fly, for us to do something.

Why go back to the past? Gold and silver were not perfect, they caused A LOT of problems. A two-metal system may be inherently unstable. Mining them is increasingly expensive and destructive to the environment as the amount in the earth dwindles.

Why not go forward to something better then metals or fiat currency? Bitcoin is flawed for lots of reasons, but something better could be devised.

Unfortunately, I suspect that the people who say it is already too late may be right. Too late for gold, too late for something better, too late for the amount of austerity that would be necessary to get back on a real, solid footing. Get ready for the ride to the bottom, and just hope it's slow.
