SELCO: My Experience with Precious Metals During a Collapse

Last week, I read with interest the explanation for preppers about gold and silver. It was very informative and brought back some memories of my experience with precious metals, which I thought I would share with you.
I am aware that with this article, I might kill (or at least threaten) a few “sacred cows” but from time to time I do write similar articles about this topic. There are a lot of misconceptions about the usage of precious metals after a collapse.
I am aware too that my experience was my experience and that in some of your future experiences things might work differently when it comes to precious metals, but still read the article and think about it.
Precious metals are valuable, but not in the way you may think.
What do you mean by “collapse?”
There are maybe differences in what one person might imagine when they think of “collapse” and what I imagine by hearing that word. Even today, there are systems in the world that are actually “collapsed” – but in reality, those system are still functioning; they are just functioning in a horrible way. They are on the brink of the collapse but they are still functioning.
To an average person from modern western society, it looks like everything collapsed, to the person that lives in that mess it might be a hard time but it is definitely not full-on collapse.
For example, I currently live in a society and system that you might describe like “SHTF”. There are car bombs, political murders, 50% uneployment, terrorism, corruption on every level, poverty, organized crime, an immigrant crisis, the constant threat of new war, etc., etc.
Some people say that the SHTF is here already, but it is not a real collapse. There is a system still there, it is a crooked, corrupted, and completely wrong system, but it is there.
I consider it a real collapse (SHTF) situation when (for whatever reason) the system actually collapsed, and trucks (with goods) have completely stopped moving.
It does not have to necessarily be a war like I experienced. There can be a whole lot of other situation that can produce that kind of prolonged collapse.
A serious weather event, a natural disaster, an EMP, an economic disaster event, etc.
When I share my advice about the usage of precius metals I am thinking about this kind of event.
