I'm about to buy my first 2 oz of silver bars and I am wondering where to store them and if I'm making the right decision. Buying locally from a coin store referred by a family member. I am curious if anyone has documentation or video of why buying silver is worth it. I want to buy 2 oz every 2 weeks while I can afford it. I guess I just want to be reassured that this is a good idea cause it feels right but I'm new to this. If you have any info I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for reading this. Please speak your truth.

I think it’s worth it. Precious metals will hold their value because there is only a limited supply on earth, like land. It’s tangible. You can use it during wartime if necessary. It’s an investment that you can see, touch, feel, understand and have control over. Is it easy to steal/lose? Sure. Maybe invest in a safe? Much luck to you fren. Great to be in a position where you have extra money to invest. Consider yourself blessed and smart.
My question is if you have silver bars, and if it comes time to use silver as currency, how do you split it up to purchase things & how much would it be worth? I understand the reasoning behind purchasing silver I'm just trying to understand how it will be used compared to the money system we use now.
You buy silver in small amounts. No different than going travelling to a third world country with only $100's. You travel with various amounts in different pockets and don't flash your money around because that's a sure fire way to get robbed.
If one is buying precious metals for when SHTF, it should be in small $5-$10 barter amounts. it's easier to travel with, it's less noticeable, if someone steals it you're not out your entire amount. I prefer jewellery (partly because I'm a woman and like shiny things) but you can wear it if it comes to a point on this Earth that the economy has crumbled we're bartering for rice with bracelets.
The only reason to buy bars is if you're investing in it like you would long term stocks.
