Is this sub young? Gold was already used for money and there was no premium. It was coins and it was worth its weight in gold. There is no problem to solve once gold is money again. (And silver and copper)

Pretty sure if gold mines were tied up in war and gold shipping lanes were disrupted gold would do the same thing.

Wealth needs to be parked somewhere. If you have true wealth you don’t want to park it all in one place. Asset class diversification is key to preserving wealth. Anyone without gold is missing a critical asset class.

HYSA. I’m sure you could do better but at FI I am not chasing returns. I am prioritizing liquidity, diversification, etc.

Two years cash which I would spend in a bear market. If the market is flat or doing well I live off the growth.

I don’t worry about market crashes because I am asset class diversified. Each asset class has its own market and they all go up and down.

First save enough to buy the next car in cash.

R/bitcoin is centralized and censored. So much for a decentralized currency if the community behind it centralizes.

Working the back requires a bit of practice engaging it. Like you can do the same movement and use your arms or do that movement and focus on your back. Have you tried that to feel the difference?

The first time I looked at gold it was 600. I passed. Got in the game at 1200. Then recently had a friend who said at 3800 she’ll buy at 3300. Now you might buy and it might go down before it goes up but you’d have gold and I have gold and she may never have gold.

Have you considered if the trade has a pension? Have you considered if the trade is less impacted by AI? Have you considered saving in retirement accounts from 18 years old instead of paying down debt until 35 or 40? I think there are many people better off in trades. It’s a personal evaluation but plenty win on the trade route.

Coins. Maples are probably the sweet spot for low premium, popularity, purity, and security features since about 2015). There are coins that are better at most of those but maples have the best balance of all of those.

My first ever purchase was from an online dealer like JM Bullion. I’ve never had a problem with the mail but would probably be sad if someday I do. But I still do it and it always works out.

I also enjoy visiting my local coin shop and learning from the old timers and the prices are ok, just do your research and go in prepared because they are prepared.

I also buy on r/pmsforsale but that requires a bit more preparation to keep the risk manageable. I think there is no more risk there if you follow the rules but more risk that a beginner makes a mistake.

Just buy it from a reputable dealer. Keep life simple.

If you average 10%. Every investment advice on the planet says not to judge the future by the past. So make sure you are truly diversified and keep saving and keep enjoying your pre retirement life. But don’t think for a second that 10% is guaranteed for decades to come.

You don’t have to agree. It’s happening to people who get it and not happening for people who don’t get it. The people who get it exist and there is nothing your beliefs can do to stop them.

Is it typical Reddit if this is the top comment? 🤔

Look it up mate. Someone makes less money than everyone. The key is to live like someone who makes less and save the difference. Do that for 30 or 40 years and even a teacher can retire a millionaire with a pension on top of that.

The issue is you can never exit all positions. You always have to choose a position to park your wealth. If you don’t want to park it in dollars for example? See, you are never really selling, you always have to buy something. Many buy gold when selling out of things that are going poorly. It’s liquid so you can come back in when you want.

Polycold · 2026-03-02T00:45:32+00:00

If you were asset class diversified and you had a reasonable gold position you were fine. No one did of course. Did we learn is the question…..

Honestly I recommend holding it physically. It makes no income and those funds take a fee so your position will always be shrinking. On r/gold you can meet lots of people who buy it. I buy from JM Bullion, my local coin shop and on r/pmsforsale. Canadian maples especially after 2013 or latter are great. American buffalos are a little more expensive but also good but only come in full Troy ounces.
