Not as a daily trade. I mean, as people were selling stocks during the crash on that day, what did they immediately put their returns into. That could be USD, or other currency, or any other quickly tradeable asset. But whatever was most dominant would have shown a rise in value. I was struggling to find anything that was rising.Farmland?
That is precisely the nature of a deflationary collapse (old style 1929 Depression.)I was struggling to find anything that was rising.
A dangerous game.Personally I bought the dip.
I had recently given my son a money gift as well and so I put him in at the dip. He has made 10% today but it has been a fair amount higher as it wiggles around.
Personally I hope that it dips really hard again. A friend who I have mentioned who bought his big nice hose and 40 acres for whst he considers free via selling a few bitcoin is thinking there may be a 45K floor on bitcoin. Lots of the crypto bros have lots of opinions though. So who knows.
Personally I am wanting to match thst fest of buying my little ranchette with profits
A dangerous game.
But what the hey, it’s only money.

(You'll hear words like "carry trade collapse," and "cascading dominoes.")
Debt collapse eliminates inflated "value" - when a building that is allegedly worth $1 Million - and mortgaged for that or more - can't be sold for $25, 000...and the loans can't be paid back, and EVENTUALLY the bank has to "mark to market" (they don't until it's undeniable) - then where did the 'value' go?
Which suggests what...?If the lights go out and tye water rises tomorrow then the money is gone. By the same token, money would not be worth anything at that point anyway.
What is the advantage of buying gold, and silver coins over bars? I would presume that one pays for a collectors value.
They have a monetary value, but I presume that their face value is lower then the actual worth of the silver/gold/platinum etc. You can use a $100 silver coin to buy food in an emergency but that would be expensive.Coins are easier to use for trade than bars.
Not all coins have a face value, only ones made by an official government mint. The rest just say the weight of metal in the coin.They have a monetary value, but I presume that their face value is lower then the actual worth of the silver/gold/platinum etc. You can use a $100 silver coin to buy food in an emergency but that would be expensive.
Coins with a 'collector value' are called numismatics; it might be considerable, depending on rarity, and there are other issues to consider there.What is the advantage of buying gold, and silver coins over bars? I would presume that one pays for a collectors value.

The derogatory term "junk" silver refers to the fact that they are always circulated, common date coin, typically dimes and quarters.
BIG advantage there over bars is not just 'divisibility' (hard to make change post-collapse from even a 1 oz gold bar) - but recognition. People will soon learn what is real, when it really matters.
And even 1 oz gold bars are now being seen counterfeited. (Tungsten, plated; etc.) Not so high-margin for a dime.
History says otherwise, even for stupid people. When it matters, they eventually get it. Sadly, most not a minute before.I suspect that junk silver eill have very little value in SHTF collapse because most people have no idea what it is and will disbelieve the value.
If I have seen cashiers and restaurant workers try to claim thst older currency or two dollar bills are fake, then your audience for junk silver in an emergency is going to be small.
More a store of value before things go nuts
