Yes, this is a good idea. FYI - Goldmoney accepts bitcoin and ethereum to buy gold (but not yet silver) directly for remote storage in Dubai. I have used some of my gains in bitcoin and ethereum to do just that as well as to start slowly branching out into a few more cryptos.

Diversify is key. ;)
Also there is an opportunity in the housing market right around the corner. watch my blog for info on how to take advantage of this once in a generation opportunity. We did in 2009 and paid cash for our home for about the same price of a 20% down payment. this next opportunity will hold greater gains then 2009 did for us.
Cheers!

cool, I'll follow you. Are you buying silver directly online with btc?

I'm sorry, I'm still figuring out how to use Steemit, and just found your reply.
I only buy physical. I also only buy from my local coin shop. The reason for that is to develop a relationship with the proprietor. In times of sale when prices are high, being in good standing I think will hold value when it's time to cash in some of my holdings. ;)
