if you really want to invest to protect yourself against a SHTF scenario buy ammo... Precious metal is for chumps in this regard.
its not an either silver or ammo premise. silver is another item to prep with. nobody is saying its more valuable than ammo or water or whatever. it is another item to barter with, just like food and water, etc. exchanging worthless fiat for all sorts of tangible, physical assets is the point, gols silver included.
what value does silver have to anyone when civilization as we know it collapses? precious metals should be viewed a an investment for financial gain... it isnt worth anything else otherwise.
when i want your 1 cow and you want 6 of my chickens, but not 300 chickens as that would be the equivalence for 1 cow. therefore PMs make the difference and allow bartering to become buying.
