Gold and silver are store of values same way fiat is a store of value, but the pros of storing value in Gold and silver is stability the value of Gold and silver is much more stable than fiat so it may be better to store value in Gold or silver (PS: this is not a financial advice it's just my opinion).
Fiat is the complete opposite of a store of value as its buying power decreases year on year through inflation.
Good job your not offering financial advise as your way off the mark.
