Crazy how /pol/ mods hate a silver thread. Oh well.
Even at the height of Weimar hyperinflation you could buy necessities with silver. Meanwhile your neighbors watched the cash they were paid on lunch lose its buying power by dinner.
You're not going to get rich quick with silver - the point of the asset is not to speculate (like with corporate stock or commodities) but simply to maintain the value. Silver in 2025 will buy you the same or more stuff than it did in 2015. Meanwhile the money you've been saying in a savings account since 2015 will have lost half its purchasing power by 2025.
To get a sense of the stability of silver:
2500 years ago a laborer would be paid roughly 1/6th a troy ounce of silver and it would buy him a day's food with a little extra left over.
Today, a day's unskilled labor pays somewhere around 6 ounces of silver and less than half of that goes to your daily bread. Roughly 3500% inflation, sure, but over 2500 years lol.
