How many people on here use bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies?
I known cryptocurrencies are something the CB is against as they want to keep fucking with the current fiat currency that's not even back by gold anymore. No matter what happens this year, I do wonder what all might change with money this year.
I like cash but now days probably prefer cards more out of convenience. I've never tried out any cryptocurrency. I always felt like if nothing can regulate it then what can stop criminals from fucking with it in bad ways.
I don't like regulations and people overseeing money but this isn't the wild west, or at least it shouldn't be. Without some form of regulation, it opens the door to massive fraud. The idea is good of transferring money without government or banks being involved but if something goes wrong or something is stolen then what? Seems like it'd just be a straight up loss with no legal way to have it corrected.
I have thought more in recent years of buying gold and/or silver. I'd like something I could keep in my safe, that I can be confident won't vanish or be stolen.
I highly recommend buying physical silver. It has been the primary tool for control of our economy for almost 150 years. It is currently massively undervalued (much more than gold is, though that too is undervalued). The physical silver market is about to completely divorce itself from silver stocks (SLV), so pay no attention to SLV value. It is meaningless, or will be soon.
It may be difficult to find physical silver at the time. Your local shop may have some. JMBullion.com may get some in next week. If you can get some for $35/oz or less locally its well worth it.
