Hi @raybrockman this is my entry to your contest. I am little bit late but better late than never right? :)..... I don't have any gold and silver at all. These things are the lease of of my priorities right now. I left home almost two years ago and I have been supporting myself by learning and doing cryptocurrency investments and trading. I tried doing some odd jobs but it didn't worked well with me. It was quite difficult finding a job when i left home since i didn't finish my schooling. I had a gold necklace and some silver rings before. However the gold necklace was borrowed by my step-sister and was never returned and the silvers rings that I had I sold when i needed money. Come to think of it silver is a good investment. When I sold my electronic gadgets and my silver jewelry I realize that I actually made me some profit. I bought it at the price of P250 pesos ($5) and was able to sell it at around P350 pesos ($7). While my old mobile phone that my mom bought for me was sold for P1,000 ($20) only which was bought P5,000 ($100). Electronic gadgets are the worst investments i only buy them if it was a necessity for my online work.

If i get lucky and all my hard work in cryptocurrency pays off i would like to invest in Gold and silver and start stacking myself. Although these assets are a little slow in terms of appreciation compare to cryptos it is also nice to have something that is tangible and holds value where ever i go anywhere in the world. I have been hearing a lot disturbing news in the cryptosphere that governments trying to regulate and even ban cryptocurrency. I am not even sure in our country if next year bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general will be legal at all since the oligarch already taking notice of the imminent threat of cryptocurrencies in their business. So i think investments in gold and metal will be a safe haven once our government starts cracking down on cryptocurrency ( which i am praying not to happen). I joined your contest not only to win the contest but learn more about gold and silver and how to leverage these things for my financial future. As they commonly say material things can be stolen, but what you learn in your head can never be stolen.
