What is the future of money?

Everything is going electronic so there is no real cash on hand to back up the money being spent.
I figured this out about 3-4 years ago, late to the party admittedly, and started to amass a decent amount of gold silver and some cash, the model at hand is not sustainable.
I have fortified that model with ammo, guns, and food stores. I am hoping to move onto acreage in the next year, get livestock, solar and wind generators with battery storage then be self sufficient.
I thought the election of 2016 was going to trigger the beginning of the end, I was very wrong and very happy to be wrong, it bought me more time and ability to get myself ready.
Am I a prepper? No I do not consume myself with things like that. Having been through 3 Hurricanes and being cut off for anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks from a supply chain, I have learned how to survive on my own, and know I am woefully unprepared for a long term run on my own. I am trying to fix that slowly. I have until 2020.
