In collapse there is no market. Inflation or deflation makes no sense. What the final run-up is seems hardly to matter.
Agreed, either leads to the same result so it really doesn't matter. It's more just a question of academic interest. There's nothing around money will buy, the only form of trade that will work is barter. Gold may work as a barter item, but compared to an equal weight of lead in a box of ammo the latter is the better barter item.

I remember back in the day when you said one of the best preps could be a storage locker full of pint bottles of liquor, specifically for barter. That idea has aged like fine wine.
