Yep. Physical silver is okay, even though the price is heavily manipulated. Paper silver is only going to be worth anything if you're one of the first to sell. Once everyone realizes it's a sham, the paper it's printed on will be worth more.
I bought some silver and gold. Now I'm seeing that there are transaction fees, and you will never sell it for as much as a retailer will. I think people will be paranoid about buying something so expensive from a random person. The price will tend to go up with inflation, but you will probably end up with less purchasing power due to transaction costs. I suppose the longer you wait, the better it gets. Of course if a hyperinflation event were to happen, then you will certainly come out on top. I guess you can compare this to just leaving your money in a bank account to rot at 2% interest or whatever. I guess there's also the manipulation of the silver market failing, and the price ending up becoming realistic again. That would end up being very profitable.
