Congratulations on the 100oz bar! I got one earlier this year, and will definitely get another one soon. Your video was great, it answered almost all of the questions that I was thinking, mostly on your ridiculous tax. 20% !!! That's exactly like buying 120 ounces, and the government saying, "Well, you did buy this with your own money, but we'll take 20 ounces from you for no reason." That would burn me up.

I _SOLD_ not one, but TWO of my 500oz American Silver Eagle monster boxes in May 2023 (still have six boxes left) and rec'd a grand total of *$30,565.18* for the two boxes. What did I do with the proceeds? Are you sitting down? I bought bitcoin-a total of 1.10584189 BTC to be exact. What is the value of that bitcoin today, seven months later? As of 15 DEC 2023, that 1.1 BTC is worth $47,130.98-an increase of $16,565.80 or 54%. The kicker is that I could turn around today and _repurchase_ two Silver Eagle monster boxes for _LESS_ than I was paid for those two back in May. Note: I won't edit this comment later, but it will be interesting to see what that 1.1 BTC will be worth in 2024. My prediction-again, this comment will not be edited-is that the 1.1 BTC will be worth $110,000 by the end of 2024. _Bitcoin is to gold/silver as the automobile was to the horse and buggy._

Just because its gone up in face value doesn't mean we've made anything from it.

Buy the type that most suits your goals. If you think the financial system is about to collapse and you want something to barter with, buy some coins. if you are just buying as much as you can for as cheap as you can and just going to dump it all after your goals are met, then by the lowest premium bars you can get your hands on. If you want to cover all possibilities, get a bunch of fractional, 1, 10 oz coins and bars and youre good to go. Also worthy of note, See what your local dealer will accept. some get a bit funny about buying large 100 oz bars, or will do so under spot to hedge their bets. Know your exit strategy.
