I think btc will return a multiple of whatever silver does during the imminent print. My metal guy lowballed me on the per coin premiums trading from silver to btc. In the future I'm just going to use ingots. He shot himself in the foot, because I know he makes way more money on coins than ingots. Whatever. More btc than I started with is a win. In a year I'll have his last bitcoin, and he'll have a pile of metal. I win.
When you buy BTC in down-markets and sell in up-markets you are a liquidity provider and get paid by the market, the same way banks do. (Or used to before they decided it is more profitable to just counterfeit money and collude with government)
I've found digital assets work better than physical assets because there is less transactional friction. I think of it like a coefficient of friction in physics. How much value you lose to middle men when you trade a specific asset. Physical metal is higher than paper metal, but there is counter-party risk with paper. Digital assets have the best of both worlds.
Digital assets are frictional and easily movable but there value fluctuates constantly.
