Don't buy gold or silver, that's one of the dumbest things you could do. Precious metals are an old paradigm. Invest in the future, not in the past. Put 25% in Bitcoin, 50% in an ETF that tracks the S&P 500, like VOO, and 25% into tech company stocks (If you're feeling like a risk taker, buy Tesla, if not then do stuff like Google, Baidu, etc).  People who spout nonsense like "The dollar is going to collapse!" are dimwits. These nuts have been around since forever. Those who listened to them after 2008 (i.e. invested in gold/silver/canned food/ammo) got wrecked, while those who invested in real estate or stocks did very well.
