I don't hold any precious metals even though I kind of like the idea, however I don't get silver. It's nice and all but not nearly valuable/rare enough to make sense as a store of value. And of course it's also, for the same reason, impractical. Stashing away some gold coins is easy, including on ones person. Doing the same with silver, that's another story.

Silver is useful in itself so there's that. But in eotwawki terms, how are you going to get change for a can of beans from 1oz of gold?

Silver is Litecoin to gold's Bitcoin Wink

Gold and silver do not behave very bullish rn.
Maybe it is temporary, but all those instruments look frozen in time comparing to the current bitcoin surge.
I never bought physical; dabbled in ETFs a little, but never had patience to hold those long term.
