Anon, there is a lot you have to learn. The problem is that you are not open to learning.
The point of buying silver/gold isn't so much "to become rich" - it is to preserve purchasing power in a way cash holdings or even stocks can't. The fact that gold and silver are currently under-valued in the market compared to when they were used as the backing for currency is simply projected as speculation into what the markets may do if there is a market default or a re-evaluation to the silver/gold standard.
If you're buying it to try and get rich, then you're purchasing hopium-enriched gold/silver. Weapons grade enriched purchases tend to reach a critical mass where, once of sufficient density, the hopium annihilates into a release of despair.
Well, that was easy to trigger.
Heavens forbid an anon jump onto the board in the evening and just decide to comment on something. Clearly, this had to be part of some over-arcing strategy.
The trick to going senile is to be aware of the fact you have lost your mind in the first place. Then, you learn to have fun with the search for it. You become a normie when you believe your behavior to be entirely rational and the truth fully knowable from your position.
This is true, although it is highly unlikely it will lose substantial amounts of purchasing power. It is possible it can, true, but the universe is based on probability. Anything is technically possible.
