@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)

>berrillium
That's an element I'd prefer to avoid, even more than many actinides.

That shit's so toxic it makes lead look like a multivitamin.

Speaking of that part of the Periodic Table, it's kinda weird how bismuth is so completely innocuous while everything around it is toxic. Heck, it's the main ingredient in Pepto-Bismol. All that while technically being 100% radioactive (abet with a half life a billion times longer than the age of the universe).

Bismuth is a weird one. In metallic form it has all these neat properties that immediately make you think "this is way too cool to not be toxic", but it's somehow completely benign.
