Gold takes control of the monetary system out of the hands of the Rothschilds/Deepstate and gives it back to the people. It allows for a free market to exist again. We have the gold (& silver), so it seems we retrieved the USA's stolen metals from those who stole and squandered.

Buy physical silver in 1 ounce bullion and hold safely at home or in a local private vault (not a bank). Go heavy silver compared to gold until the ratio gets back towards 20:1. The mining ratio is about 10:1 and the Romans and much of history used 16:1. The current ratio is 83:1. Both silver and gold will do great, but silver is cheap compared to gold. Do not buy SLV or GLD, which are simply paper metal contracts that are expected to track the real metal pricing.
Physical silver is a much tighter market than the gold market and is the Achilles heel to the banking cabal.
The Comex gold market currently has an open interest of 375+. That means each bar has been sold to at least 375 owners. The majority of gold traded is simply paper contracts used to provide false supply to the market.
Focus on acquiring weight in metals and not the numismatic (mint stamp rarity) value. Silver can currently be purchased for $2 over spot price if looked for at your local shop.
It is important to understand the difference between money and currency. Only silver and gold are money. Currency used to be a note representing metals in the vault. We have been weaned off of the gold standard and now we use fiat currency. Fiat means by decree, therefore fiat currencies (all of today's currencies) get there value by declaring that this piece of paper is worth 1X and this similar piece of paper is worth 10X.
Blockchain will likely enter the scene as a way to account for metals stored in a vault that can be transacted with easily and digitally. You can always keep the majority of your savings in physical though.
