I've been saying for years and years, everyone should own some gold and silver. True money for over 5,000 years (maybe even longer).

Gold and silver are a scam. People buy it for a doomsday scenario without realizing that the same scenario would render it useless.

Not true. I could use 1 silver coin to buy some of the Misc to be my personal security.

You NEED to have a few thousand oz of silver minimum imho.

Why would a miscer in an apocalyptic scenario want to defend you for a useless shiny rock? it's not antibiotics that are going to keep you alive when you get an infected wound. it's not ammo you use to defend yourself. it's not a water desalination kit. might as well say you're hoarding jewelry to pay people off. just lmao at putting your life on the line because someone paid you 7 diamond necklaces in the wasteland.

only reason why gold/silver became a thing was because Jewish bankers in the 13th century pushed it so hard, srs.

Guaranteed same value.

Why not invest in an asset that will grow in value over time?

Listen to what Warren Buffet has to say about gold.

It's human nature. Humans tend to follow a leader that can pay them with real money. Thousands of years it has been like this and will continue to follow this trend. Just L@L if you think being a lone wolf will get you anywhere when the ones with gold and silver can pay for security to take your possessions at will.

I'm not saying go 100% into gold and silver but you NEED to have some just in case. Gold and silver has and will always retain their value.

Humans bartered for goods long before anyone agreed to use metal. With the breakdown and collapse of society fiat currencies will also die off. But by all means continue hoarding your rocks with an impressive 0% (negative roi if you take data from 2011) return rate.

The method is direct exchange of goods for one another, bartering, eg: I trade someone some antibiotics for a water filter/grease/radio/etc.

You can still see it in uncivilized parts of the world where there is little-no government/banking oversight like Africa/parts of the middle east. That's what the world is going to be like if chit hits the fan.

I want to invest in silver/gold but if society collapses what can you do with it? You can't eat it. You aren't going to make wires to conduct electricity. You aren't going to use it as antibacterial. Gold and silver only function as hedges against inflation. Precious metals are only valuable if fiat currency is valuable.

I think putting money into objects that can give a return is much more valuable. For example putting $3,000 into all the supplies and knowledge to raise rabbits and chickens which will give meat, eggs, and fur. The meat eggs and fur you can actually trade as they are useful. $3,000 of gold/silver just sits in a closet doing nothing.

Not the worst idea in the world to have a few silver Eagles and smaller gold coins, but you have to be a legit retard to spend significant money on it when crypto and playing options on stocks gives such huge and easy profits.

If society collapses you better be invested in guns and bullets not gold and silver.

Unless it’s to pay off the guy with the guns and bullets.

Do you mean crypto? Zoom out, nothing goes up all the time. But in the last decade crypto has been statistically the best investment in the history of humanity, just a few weeks ago I made 500% on one cryptocurrency, there is no other investment that can do that so easily and so often.

I have 10% of my net worth in crypto at the moment but I'll be the first to say I consider it gambling and not investing.
