Silver Money? A realistic perspective.

"With US looking near the top I’ve started to convert back to Aussie pesos, just biding my time for some distressed sales to come along"

What is wrong with putting it into 'REAL MONEY' Gold? _JLG.

 

Gold and silver will never become a currency again.

 

"Gold and silver will never become a currency again."

Because they are 'MONEY'.
Some people just don't understand the difference between 'CURRENCY' & 'MONEY'. _JLG

 

The most sensible/realistic view.

Be careful of shills, pumpers and G&S dealers predicting doom and gloom, but are always super eager to take your soon to be worthless fiat paper in exchange for their shining lumps of precious metals.

I can handle that LOLOL please keep taking mine, every extra $ I get gets converted into 'REAL MONEY' _JOHNLGALT.

 

Let’s be real. Even in a mad max end of society event, people aren’t suddenly going to use gold or silver. They’ll use violence and food.

 

It looks like cryptocurrency will soon disrupt the precious metal segment :/

Heck, there's even the Binance banner ad at the top of every page.

 

Have you considered that the running may be making you more appealing.

 

Crypto is one of the few things Peter Schiff is right about:
It has no real role, supply is ambiguous and basically unlimited, and it will eventually go to zero. Until people started "investing" in BTC hoping to cash in on the greater fool theory, it was basically only used for black market transacting.

Credit cards?
Yes... people get things they would have needed cash to get. Companies get interest.
PayPal?
Yes... people see cash they can spend. The company gets a percentage.
Crypto?
No, they are filling a niche that doesn't exist and it isn't based on anything that people equate to any real value or widespread utility. Even assuming those problems could all be remedied, BitCoin is also (trying to) compete with monetary systems intimately tied to govts with control of legions of guns, legislation control, and social control. Think about who is likely to win that power struggle.
