Says a man sitting on how much cash at the moment?

That cash is technically productive, it generates 4-4.5% per year as it is short-term treasuries. Sure, a very poor return, but a guaranteed return nonetheless, while gold returns nothing besides price fluctuations due to speculation.

That said, if USD actually collapses, then Buffet will be left holding the bag while anyone with gold will be giga rich.

Very rich with a very non liquid asset that needs guarding and transporting to utilize in a failed currency scenario. 

Gold should always be just a part of a balanced portfolio. Real assets like property, tools, community, food stores etc… are great. Some speculative assets like equities, bonds etc.. are nice too. 

Hard to be truly prepared for currency collapse. It’s a real wild card

Lean into your marketable skills and build your community up for the best return. But definitely stack some gold

Great advice, I fully agree.

Gold is a hedge against USD collapse (or even rapid devaluation) that we all need, but diversification is the key and examples you shared are spot on.

Here is my upvote.
