Sorry to hear you are in a tough position.
While I feel your pain and I'd hate to sell as well, it's worth remembering that ultimately that is why we stack both silver/gold and crypto: to give us money. While generally we are thinking more of a retirement nest egg, if you need it now, use it.
I'd probably lean towards selling gold first, just because it's easier to move, as you say.
Thanks @dbooster that's good advice.
