If you bought $1,000 worth of silver in January 2017 when DJT tweeted about it ($19.82 per oz) and you sold it at today's price of $23.88 per oz, you'd have made a 20.48% increase in profit or $200. But since inflation for all that time has been 11.9%, you'd actually only have made $80.
If you bought $1,000 worth of BTC at the same time, you'd have $67,000 right now or a 6,600% increase.
Buying gold and silver hasn't made anyone rich yet, maybe one day it will. In the meantime, put your extra cash into alt coins, when BTC's done with it's ride it will be alts turn to earn you lots of money.
There's plenty of things if you went back in time and bought have performed better but none have all the uses of Silver. 104 uses and counting.....since there's alot of "If's" in the statement above.....what if the internet goes down for a prolonged period of time what do you have if you bought BTC? BTC could be zero because you don't hold it.....Silver and other hard assets you can hold. There's a saying if you don't hold it you don't own it.
There are thousands of nodes all over the world so if the internet goes down in one area BTC is safe because of its decentralized nature. This is the point of miners. If you're talking about SHTF and there's a collapse of civilized society then silver will only help you based on what people are willing to barter for it. Perhaps that's reason enough to hold onto some silver, but for getting rich silver isn't what you should bank your portfolio on.
I'm simply banking on what DJT said.....you brought up the IFs. I will also rely on hard assets instead of paper or digital holdings....just my opinion and some other notable folks will back this up. Good luck to you and yours ....I don't tell people how to spend their money but I do like passing around sound knowledge. Famous economist Peter Schiff said in a recent interview BTC will go to zero when the supply of fools run out lol....he was not talking about you...you are at least on this board for a reason.

He was right about the crash in '08 and that was it. BTC's market cap is bigger than Visa and Mastercard's combined, it's never going to go to $0.
