I had sold a lot of silver after hodling it for 8+ years. I sold pre big pump so i made out “even” maybe worse inflation adjusted ..

The process of selling the metal was such a pain in the ass. So many different prices for the same thing. Coin stores, we buy metals, jewelry stores, pawn shops. They will all fleece you. The price to buy vs sell is terrible.. and the work to find places. Check what they pay in person cause they wont tell prices on the phone.. god help you if you actually need the cash..

After going through that .. bitcoin is a no brainer.

You can buy and sell very close to spot 24/7 every freaking day.
