Silver hasn't been money in ages, it's over, im sorry to tell you. Gold's massive marketcap and network effect is amazing, I would be willing to buy some, however, since bitcoin exists, im not sure why would I even bothered.
The cumbersome experience of trying to cross borders with gold has already been addressed numerous times, but seems like numerous times is not enough for goldbugs.
Bitcoin solves the problem of needing to hold something physical which you cannot replicate backup copies off, which is huge and this single reason makes it very undervalued at current prices, but for some reason not being a tangible good makes goldbugs consider it some sort of scam or not safe, when it's a strong point.
I can't wait to see Bitcoin hit the first trillion USD marketcap milestone. I predict by then some goldbugs will start assuming they made a mistake not buying earlier and hopefully by then they are diversifying a bit with some BTC.
