Investing in Gold and Silver

[Jason76]

Some invest in this stuff because they don't trust national currency. Do you think they're correct in not trusting it? Do you think gold and silver or one or the other will protect someone from the dangers of national currency (the dollar etc.)?

Silver, gold, and other minerals are scarce goods, more than any fiat currency which is printed endlessly and without being backed by anything other than debt, so we can say that they are right to invest in these minerals since their inflation rate is very low, we have already seen the inflationary crisis that has occurred in the world due to the waste of governments since the coronavirus crisis.
