Gold and silver are nice as a hedge against inflation, but copper is better. Copper is useful. Copper is very valuable. You can buy copper and at some point in the future it's almost guaranteed you can sell it for a profit. You can use copper to make brass, brass is useful in ammo casings. You can use copper to make bronze. You can use copper as wire. Copper is an extremely useful metal and it is also borderline precious in terms of its actual value. If you can stockpile a shitload of copper and keep that shit stored somewhere where nobody's going to find it except you, you have an excellent way to store your wealth. I'm not buying gold or silver or any of that shit as an investment. I just want my money to be worth the same amount against inflation. I spend a portion of every single paycheck on tangible goods that have value. That's my savings. I prefer ingots and bullion because they don't take up a ton of space. If I had a huge fucking Warehouse or a massive storage shed or something like that, I'd be buying up guns because those motherfuckers store value like nothing I've ever seen. They're better than gold.
