@Hoss I bought this 3 months ago on the week they started taking preorders. I bought mine for $66.34 it's almost doubled in 3 months by time it gets to me in 3-6 days it will double at this trajectory

Worth it to also invest in elements other than Ag, Au, Pt, & Pd. You don't even have to invest in the metals themselves. Just get jars of the oxides for most of them. Even with Ag, Au, Pt, & Pd you can get simple compounds or solutions of them so that they aren't readily identifiable and less likely to be stolen or even searched for.
Beyond bullion, don't forget the other two of the "3 B's": Bullets and Booze. Stock up on ammo and quality alcohol, both of which will be far more useful than gold or silver after the collapse of civilization.

@LoliHat @Hoss @hakui next place I go I'm gonna set up a distillery so I can have the Independence of making my own and use that as possible currency if needed. I collect plat and palladium and I actual have a lot of aluminum cans as well as copper scrap and I've started collecting copper pennies en masse as I'm betting they're gonna be a great short to medium term investment since people are melting them down causing a market rarity. Once people can't get pennies they're gonna blow through the roof and only get better with time. I've gone hard on pennies for years niggas bout to feel me lol

Aluminum? Knowing how to make aluminum metal from bauxite or similar minerals will be useful. Admittedly, you'd have to develop some other technology first, but imagine having that knowledge and skill back in ancient times. You'd be a god-king of a powerful nation with that type of power.

@Soy_Magnus @Hoss @hakui That's because they don't know how to do it properly. Which is exactly why knowing how to to it right can be so beneficial.

Aluminum isn't like iron or steel. This is why, despite aluminum being one of the most abundant elements on Earth, the metal was practically nonexistent until the 19th century.

IIRC the capstone of the Washington Monument was forged out of aluminum for prestige because modern refinement techniques had not been discovered and metallic aluminum was extremely rare.
@Hoss @hakui @LoliHat another cool fact, aluminum used to be extremely rare and hard to process so it was worth more per gram than gold until they found (I 🤔) berrillium has it in abundance and they figured out how to extract it flooding the market and killing the price. Purple has another similar story that's why I accept gold with a grain of salt many things before it have had the markets destabilized through in for seen events so u should never only invest in one thing. (Tho I'm stocked on what I needed to feel safe so I'm gonna start dumping money into scrap gold and gold watches for quick liquid savings that's untraceable)
Bauxite.
But I don't think there's any similar thing for gold or silver. For those you either prospect harder / deeper, or you start looking at asteroid mining...

Gold and silver were early metals that were obtained by more primitive civilizations because they were found in their metallic state due to being fairly unreactive.
Aluminum, OTOH, is one of the main ingredients in thermite for a reason.

Somebody did a YT vid where they talked through all of the elements and tried to see why gold and silver are used as store of wealth.
1. Extremely unreactive
2. Soft metal, doesn't crumble, not a gas
3. Not radioactive
4. Rare
When they got done, they concluded that silver and gold were the only elements that the ancient world could have realistically settled on.
