ofcourse it will always be the gold we all know that gold nowadays disappearing and it could also be a accessories and its a good investment. while bitcoin currency was not stable as you expecting. and anytime bitcoin currency could disappear too. thats why i prefer gold as an alternative than bitcoin currency.

What will be the medium of exchange for the world economy after the collapse of the dollar?
The world economy is an abstraction in and of itself
It is just a useful concept which stems from considering separate economies of various countries such as the US, the EU, China, Russia, etc as one whole. In this way, the question doesn't make much sense since all these countries are using the own currencies. Yes, the US uses the US dollar apparently, so the correct question should be more like what the US is going to use after the collapse of the US dollar? I think that they will just switch from Benjamins to Donalds, and that's pretty much all there's to it (provided the US itself doesn't disintegrate in the process, of course)

i choose bitcoin for the best alternative, because i see that bitcoin can be one solution for the new economic and bitcoin can reach all people without any differences and beside that, bitcoin have many benefit that we already knew.

It depends when OP believes that USD will collapse; If this happens in nearby future then another fiat will take his place. Euro is very weak after eurozone crisis and China waits with RMB just to maintain their economic growth. Older people and not familiar with digital coins will use gold at first and bitcoins the youngers. In the distant future maybe people have fiat money as souvenirs from the past.

In my opinion, if dollar collapse, no country will ever dare use bitcoin as the best alternative. They might create dollar v2.0 just to replace the dollar now that is collapsing. It is also possible that they will switch to gold since gold has been around for a very long time and has been used since the ancient times. The chance of them using bitcoin as an alternative when dollar collapse seems lesser than they using gold when it happens but most probably they will create new dollar.

If that happened, I think bitcoin can't replace it for now because we know it has also limitations. They will still choose continue using what they have and that is the fiat only. Bitcoin is a cypto currency that suits only its function online.

When the dollar collapses, if it collapses, then chances are the best interim medium of exchange is going to be gold. It is a resource that has recognized value everywhere, and it is most definitely something people are willing to pay for. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is more niche and not as exchangeable as a PM such as gold. While Bitcoin is great for a society like the one we have, it doesn't really prosper without a highly connected community.
In order to be considered for a medium of exchange, the replacement would have to have a fairly stable purchasing power. Gold will not have a stable purchasing power in the USD collapse scenario and neither will Bitcoin. The US gov't will enact measures in an attempt to stabilize the currency and it will continue to be the medium of exchange. Failing that, perhaps the Yuan, the Ruble, or (heaven forbid) the Euro will replace it but the alternative will most definitely be a fiat currency. In this scenario, gold will be hoarded and its value will moon (wrt any fiat currency). December 16, 2016, 12:06:10 AM
Huh? Who the hell uses gold as a currency? This isn't ancient Rome. Anyways, bitcoins are finite and are clearly a better option because they aren't so horrible for the environment to mine vs gold. People can spend bitcoins, where the hell can I spend a gold nugget?

I will always prefer Bitcoin between Both of them because the main reason is that I am a low money/Bitcoin holder So I will use Bitcoin to invest my money to get sudden profit .Here everyone knows that the growth in price of gold is like a turtle movement .

If all these collapses, just prepare those water and salt. They'd be the next valuable thing if such thing happen. If war happens, water to drink and salt for food use will be very much needed.

It all depends on what services are going to be available after the dollar is removed from reserve currency status. If there are still a lot of internet services up, then Bitcoin will likely be a pretty good candidate for a medium for trade. If there is any sort of war resulting from that, then you should expect for gold to be considered more valuable. Bitcoin would more than likely appear to be a trinket for most people.
