>>21665892>just started buying silver, why should i also buy gold? silver seems more accessible. Eventually, space and portability become an issue. Realistically, all metal is money because of the durability and utility, but wearing the same value in steel as gold on a hike if the commies are marching through your homestead ain't gonna work, that is unless you're driving an M1 Abrams, then of course you're driving towards the commies hordes not hiking away to survive.
The point is that you don't have to. I personally have many different metals, but silver is by far the one that I have in abundance and also the first one I spend/barter/trade with, its the most universally accepted and recognizable of the metal monies, and gaining more and more reestablished respectability daily.
