I hear you about FIAT. But for you, does that extends to stocks? My view is that both metals and stocks (lets not bring derivatives in here!) are physical things just MARKED in FIAT. And if a currency tanked (as in ZIM or Argentina) they will just be revalue to the next best (and easiest) form of wealth. That has, in the past been the dollar. But if that tanks, may be the Euro? Next, might be crypto or metals. My point being that the stocks will still have value as the means of production and won't just be devalued to zero. If they do, then so could silver and gold - maybe even have a greater chance. IMO of course! :)
