You know, my philosophy is that it's better to buy and hold physical silver over the long term because the spot price is often manipulated, and the amount of silver that's electronically traded is greater than the amount that actually exists (not sure how they do that, but no one questions that they do it). It's been kept artificially low for so long that after a while you get bored looking at it unless you either want to buy or sell, which I haven't done much of in the past year. I will admit to having put silver involvement on the back burner since around 2013 when I discovered Bitcoin and the whole world of cryptocurrencies. But it seems like the anarchist people and the silver people tend to also find their way into the cryptosphere one way or another. I was open to learning about Bitcoin because of having been involved with silver and trying to promote an economy that would tie us less to the Fed, etc. It's interesting how that all works.

Exactly that is what happened to me. Silver was my gateway drug to crypto ; ). I have not bought any in years but I feel I have enough physical. Crypto is so much more interesting.
Crypto definitely comes in more flavors and varieties :)
