Alternative Plan—Spend 10,000 RMB to Buy a “War Hedging Pack”: Crude Oil, Gold, Bitcoin, and Canned Food

If I absolutely had to spend 10,000 RMB by April 2026, and could only buy things to “prepare for the Third World War,” how would I put the plan together? This is not investment advice; it’s a survivalist’s shopping list.

3,000 RMB → Mini XTI Crude Oil Futures or USO ETF
XTI’s current price is $112. I can’t afford a full contract, but I can buy USO (crude oil ETF) or crude oil spread contracts on Gate. When war breaks out, crude oil is the first “skyrocket” asset. Every day the Strait of Hormuz is blocked, oil prices jump by $10. These 3,000 RMB are “insurance for a war outbreak”—if there’s no war, you only lose a little; if it turns into a war, it could become 10,000 RMB.

3,000 RMB → Physical Gold (gold nuggets)
Now banks and e-commerce platforms both sell 1g and 2g gold nuggets. For 3,000 RMB, you can roughly buy 0.65g (gold price about $4,676 per ounce, which is roughly 380 RMB per gram? Wait—let’s calculate: $4,676 per ounce; 1 ounce = 31.1035g; so per gram is about $150.3; at an exchange rate of 7.3, that’s about 1,097 RMB per gram. So 3,000 RMB only buys 2.7g. Yes, gold is expensive). Buy 2g of gold nuggets and keep them in a pocket close to your body. In chaotic times, gold is hard currency.

2,000 RMB → Bitcoin (about 0.0003 BTC)
Deposit it in a cold wallet. If the traditional financial system collapses, Bitcoin may be the only way you can transfer assets across borders. Don’t think 0.0003 is too little—0.0003 BTC could buy you a flight ticket to escape (assuming that by then BTC has become the global settlement currency).

2,000 RMB → Physical reserves
Buy a case of military compressed biscuits (enough to last a month), a case of bottled water, a solar power bank, a box of antibiotics, and a Swiss Army knife. This isn’t a joke—on April 2, Trump urged countries to “rush to grab oil” in the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps has entered the highest level of combat readiness. Once things get really messy, these are more useful than stocks.

Finally, 0 RMB → Post every day in the Gate Plaza
Posting doesn’t just get you red envelopes—it also lets you exchange information with crypto players around the world. In case a real war really breaks out, the Plaza could be your only channel for real-time updates and mutual help. And posting itself is also a kind of psychological massage—so you feel like you’re still part of human society, instead of hiding in an air-raid shelter waiting to die.

Conclusion: I hope I never have to use this 10,000 RMB. But if I really do, at least I won’t be empty-handed.
