"this is such a fatalistic way to look at thing" - indeed! I think anyone who sees prices in fiat other then self reassurance during our journey and watching fiat inflation/destruction that we are not crazy misses the actual point of crypto. Anyone who gets rich quick is likely doomed to get a rags to riches back to rags story because often the problem is poor financial literacy overall.

Paper markets will break, It's not a matter of if it's a matter of when. WEEEEENNNN Me want rich now!! lol
In all seriousness tho, product has been hard to come by and my local shop is begging for sellers and offers a good premium over spot. There is def supply disruptions especially in silver. The reason I find it attractive is more for all the green techs and new medical techs will require lots of silver, it's just a matter of time and the world seems to be want to move in that direction. Paper will be pretty useless in that regards. Gold certainly shows the truth and bitcoin shows how little confidence their is in fiat. I made comparisons during different decades between fiat valuation of gold along with it's buying power over the decades. Conclusion, fiat has been long dead, people just don't know it yet.
