i wouldn’t say gold is a required attribute for future development.
the world would temporarily revert to the 1700s without electricity, but the world would not lose its collective understanding that Bitcoin (or something like it) is a better way to store value than gold.
Gold would be necessary to "bridge the gap".
When you were in the multi-decade stage of having no electricity, no computers, no chip fabs....you would need something as a monetary base to facilitate trade to actually build those things.
What would you suggest they use?
In particular, if you are an autocratic leader who may need to run away one day :)
