I used to be in the the thrift store mode every day, what with the lockdown and unwelcome mask mandates, I have been able to separate myself from the habit and because the thrifts now take their precious metals to the refineries for 94% of spot, there's nothing in the junk jewelry bags for incentives. I have evolved to the position of NOT selling my assets for fiat dollars any more-that includes my collectibles. When PM backed money arrives on the scene, then it'll be a fire sale... ?
Why not sell and buy gold and silver with the fiat? You can at least save some space and PMs are still available right now, but maybe not after a fiat collapse.
I flip goods from yard sales & flea markets. I try to buy things with inherent value rather than "collectible", chainsaws, camping gear, bicycles, etc. And I only keep enough cash around to enable more purchases. I try to get it back into hard goods as quickly as possible. Have always done it this way because of the vagaries of "money", have never trusted it fully.
If I had known of bitcoin back in the "pennystock" days, I had money then and a way to acquire it, I might have done so. As it is, I am skeptical of its future considering how power hungry the mining computers are.. Right now , if I had any, I would cash it out and buy silver.. I have quite a bit left and also converted gifted gold, platinum and diamond to American silver currency along with cash. Waiting for "the best is yet to come" to have a fire sale!!
Both of those require money to shop-our local flea market has a stupid mask mandate even though it is mostly outdoors on a 100 acre lot. cognitive dissonance for sure.. I don't go where my exemption is not honored..
I'm in a very blue VERY blue area and I followed for a while but my ex who is a good friend of mine, we spent a day together talking shit and sharing theories and the like. She hasn't followed the mandate from the get go and I watched her waltz into places no mask and no problem.
So that day I took mine off and went to stores and the like buying shit and no one gave me shit. So I stopped following.
Even in a vape shop with a hipster soy boy behind the counter who was nervous but very polite. It was actually a very pleasant interaction on my end. Wished me a great day twice as I was walking out haha.
I also sound like a wop, wear wifebeaters and have gold chains and bracelets out the ass so he probably thought I was trouble lmao.
Anyway our governor recently dropped the mandates so now I see like 1 or 2 other people in stores maskless, 95% still wear them religiously.
If you like to know more about the rigged casino find the original writings by Patrick Byrne about his experience taking Overstock to IPO and what he found about wall street.
The top "investment" (extortion/fraud) firms have set up the US exchange so they are always at the front of the line in any trade. So that means they have effectively created infinite money with zero risk. And if it falls over, ever, at any time... they just have their Congress Critters write them a bailout check.

Silver for the long haul and lead for the short term.
Right now, I have NO crazy money at all I'm running my monthlies off my SS-the next stimulus will see me going to buy $1,000 worth of silver.

What do you think of the cryptos that claim to be fully backed by PM ?

Oh I hear ya. I am completely out of bitcoin. Its not backed by anything, let alone PM and it on top of that its now a captured operation.
I was referring to the cryptos such as Ripple.
Yeah flea markets and garae sales are your best bet for sterling and the likes.

The silver market proves to me we live in a rigged casino.
In any real, fair market, Jamie Dimon and his ilk would be in prison, or worse.
