The PMs you stack will just prove to be a huge opportunity cost vs stacking Sats. It’s good to have a little physical gold imo but beyond a small SHTF stack it’s just pissing in the wind.

One thing that’s completely turned me off to PMs is the spread when buying and selling. The brokers will sap all (minimal) profit on both ends of the transaction. PMs just don’t work as a way to protect wealth vs inflation anymore.

Really glad you’re on Nostr Dr. Berry and to learn you’re a Bitcoin enthusiast. Been a huge fan for years and have the utmost respect for you ser. You’re a beacon of sanity in an insane world.

If your stacking PM for SHTF, there is no "spread". That's for traders.

There is a premium above spread on PMs when you buy.

And when SHTF, how is that a factor?

Troy I advocated for a SHTF stack for that reason 😂 But paying a large premium over spot for metals that will likely take years to appreciate to the break even with the spot + premium is a stupid and wasteful strategy, especially when a SHTF situation is very unlikely.
