Diversify between gold and silver. Once you get to a certain number of ounces (varies depending upon person and available space), silver can become a storage problem. Gold and silver are both sound money, so you're not going to go wrong preserving your wealth with either one. I like platinum too, but it's not necessarily a monetary metal. It's just that there is more "upside" to purchasing silver for your worthless fiat Fedbux.
Gold is the money of kings and silver is the money of gentlemen.
What's your solution then - crypto I presume? We need an honest money for barter and trade and gold and silver have filled that role nicely for many hundreds of years. Free energy has also been hidden from us, so that puts many things into perspective if energy is going to be essentially limitless.
You can argue that there are more precious metals deposits/veins being kept hidden as well. Uganda said just a couple weeks ago they were sitting on billions worth of gold.
There isn't enough precious metals to go around as it is currently, if you even just try to divide the annual mined supply for a single year, amongst the world - let alone the above ground, already refined metal. So in my opinion, we need to find more so we can balance things out.
I'm not saying there couldn't be something better on the horizon - I just don't know what that is. Gold/silver is what the Constitution gave us, so that's what I'll be preserving my wealth with, (when or if I can parlay it into something better).
Trump himself is big on the gold standard, for many years, he's on the record.
If you don't hold it, you don't own it.
Come to think of it, you don't even get stock certificates anymore.
My problem is, where does one keep a literal ton of silver (<$100,000 worth)?

What happens when the technology they've hidden from us is released and gold/silver no longer have value other than being pretty?
Or technology that can create any material, including gold/silver.
