History has shown us countless times that paper money can come and go, but gold and silver always remain. From the fall of empires to modern financial crises, currencies have collapsed under the weieght of inflation, mismanagement, or political turmoil. Yet through it all, those who held precious metals found themselves with something universally recognised as valuable.
Take Germany’s hyperinflation of the 1920s as an example. People needed wheelbarrows of cash just to buy bread, but those who had gold could still purchase goods and protectpiecse families. More recently, in places likeVenezuela, silver coins and small gold pieces became a lifeline as the local currency spiralled into worthlessness. Precious metals don’t rely on a government’s promise or a central bank’s policy, their value is intrinsic and has been trusted for thousands of years.
That’s what makes stacking so much more than just a hobby. When you add silver and gold to your portfolio, you’re not just chasing a return; you’re protecting yourself against the unknown. Unlike fiat currencies, which are constantly losing purchasing power, precious metals endure. They might not buy you a coffee one week and a car the next — but over the long run, they keep your wealth intact while paper money withers away.

I stack silver with this in mind. It’s not about doom and gloom, but about recognising that history has a habit of repeating itself. If currencies fail again — and eventually, one will — I’d rather be holding something real, tangible, and proven. That’s the peace of mind precious metals bring, and it’s something no banknote ever could.
