I keep hearing about a gold/silver return, given what's going on at the Federal Reserve, I'm not so sure anymore. I mean, they've printed 20% of all dollars in existence in the last 2 years, that's an amazing amount of devaluation which will inevitably lead to massive inflation, like Venezuela levels of it. With what they're up to along with the IMF bringing back SDRs, I'm seeing dark skies ahead. But, to be safe, I invested the same, at least increased my holdings of gold/silver. I'm still of the mind that the 'currency of the future' is going to be lead, wrapped in brass. I did my time in the bitcoin mines way back in the day when you could buy a pizza with it, and in my mind, like it or not, I think the world is heading the way of digital currencies. China, for example, is rolling out their crypto. And it's taking off like a rocket, but there's a catch. In their roll out, the crypto they've issued is only valid during a date range. Which means somewhere in the back end, they can control if your money is 'valid' or not. Given what they're doing with social credit systems there, it's easy to see that if you don't toe the line, your money will just not be valid anymore and you'll be out of luck. The US is working on their own as well, which is why there's noise about classifying Bitcoin and other cryptos as securities, it takes it away from the 'common' US citizen. But, it's a good warning, there's nothing so shady as something that you *can't* trace down. And the creator of bitcoin is just that kind of shady; If you made it, why hide?
