The question that keeps nagging me about owning physical is how useful will it be? How will it be used? Assuming 90% of avg N Americans have minimal to no holdings, what will the benefit be of owning it if less than 10% own it? Is it supposed to be medium of exchange, ie, money, what are we supposed to do with it among the 10% that own it?
A am still fuzzy on this. The best I can come up with it may hold its value better than the dollar, so owning say, a 1 oz
silver eagle worth $14-15 today may buy you $30 worth of paper money if silver doubles, more if the dollar continues to drop.
But with limited availability, I wonder how practical it will be, and what happens if it becomes known you have silver?
