how will you buy food when you have to spend 20-50 bucks for a loaf of bread? It's already happening in zimbabwe. When the value of the currency tanks because it is printed into oblivion, gold, silver, and other things with intrinsic value become used as currency so that you don't starve to death

Ok. Did you not read about peak oil? The current system is not sustainable, it is oriented around infinite growth which is not a possibility given that there is a finite number of resources. The world's consumption of oil is staggering and it won't last. Just a single tire for a car consumes 7 barrels of oil. We don't need to completely run out, we just need to get to the point that it becomes more work getting the oil out of the ground than what the oil is actually worth. I know you're playing devil's advocate but wake up, it's an inescapable reality given the sheer population of people on this planet
