US gubmint is buying up lots of gold. Probably that is driving up the price. Must be a mountain of it in fort knox by now.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

my goal is having valuable things that are relatively light and can be used to obtain goods and service if the dollar collapses/grid fails/internet fails/etc.. Plus they hold their value or more...to purchase goods/services.

an ounce of silver today buys more gasoline than it did 100 years ago.
an ounce of gold today easily buys good/services the same as it did or better than 100 years ago..or so I believe.

But that's right now. Will gold or silver hold their value in TEOTWAWKI? I doubt it.
I hold a few hundred dollars in precious metals, but that won't be where the profit will be.
The profit will be in ammo, alcohol, tobacco and pharmaceuticals.
I MIGHT find someone that'll sell me a few rounds for a silver dime, but I KNOW I'll find someone to sell me some rounds for a quart of shine or whiskey.
And probably a months worth of groceries for a sack of tobaccy leaves.

I’ve always had trouble when trying to barter with gold or silver. People gave strange looks when asked how many oz of gold they’d take for something.

If you decide to accumulated some with that as the goal I might suggest staying away from bars. I thought that was a good idea at one time but when I look at those sitting next to coins they become way less portable and there is often questions about purity etc.

Buy gold & silver. Get rid of your crypto. Probably just my opinion
When you buy gold & silver, have it physically in your possession, not somewhere where a company holds it digitally for you
Precious metals go up for a reason. A weak dollar for example. Precious metals will be going much higher
TILL THAT DAY.....

I'm sure in the past there's been guys that would have traded a pound of gold for a load of firewood.....but froze to death holding their gold.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

I have about 50 silver dollars. I have a few rare ones, but I hold no othah precious metals. I'm sure in fund markets if you are invested there are holding that have precious metals shares.
An 1889 CC Morgan silver dollar is a nice, rare coin.

Way too high of prices to stack now.
I went through that phase. I stopped around 2018--other than a current Eagle once a year.
Buy land and things you can use. Although, I'm glad I bought metals years ago. Will not be selling--saving for a rainy day. Marty comes back then u come back. Good to see u again

And probably a months worth of groceries for a sack of tobaccy leaves. Maybe your right but if you have to go (be mobile) how much whiskey can you carry? I can certainly carry 16 ounces of gold in small weight coins (1/10, 1/4 ounce). If I get sick and need meds .....gold and silver have been used for purchasing goods and services for thousands of years.
