I wouldn't say fiat is worthless. It doesn't have use value or any intrinsic value but it still has accepted value.

If things get bad enough that my USD is more valuable as tinder than as currency, gold is unlikely to be much use to me either. At that point you'll be best off with firearms, ammunition, gasoline, food with long shelf life, acreage, and an agricultural education.
