>has no industrial application apart from jewellery i dont think precious metals are particularly good investments but this is straight up not true although most of the value isnt derived from industrial application they do have important application and value because of it but still i would only buy gold and silver if i was really rich and just wanted a hoard of shiny rocks which i think is probably a big reason why the people that collect it do because it really is more like a collection than an investment - most of them never sell >Error: Our system thinks your post is spam.

They will collapse the dollar and you'll have inflation protection and a store of value and worst case can buy some food at the farmer with shiny rocks
Silver is used for smartphones, 5G tower, satelites, solar panels, medical tech, robots and all electronics
Silver is antibacterial and can be used for water purification
If they create CBDC the black/grey market will grow: silver (and monero) are great anyonymous currencies
If we go back to gold backed currency you'll have buying power immediately

There are also lab-grown diamonds that are just as hard and beautiful as natural diamonds, but natural diamonds are way higher price simply cuz they're finite, just like gold.
