I have to pay premium

and on top of that every sale takes forever since they test the rocks

I started buying McDonalds. It's a better money. It is tangible, doesn't spoil(durable), has great brand recogniztion and you can eat it when you're hungry. You can't eat rocks. It's the perfect medium of exchange. Did I mention it also doesn't weigh a ton? It's very light and portable, you can easily divide it into smaller pieces. McDonalds is the future of commerce.

Saging for non-relevance for the majority of the post but the proper term is minerals.

A mineral is, broadly speaking, a solid chemical compound that occurs naturally in pure form.

Metals are a special kind of mineral which has all of the properties mentioned above along with a lusterous appearance and having the ability to conduct electricity and heat well.

A rock is, strictly speaking, not a metal or mineral. It is an aggregate of either minerals, non-mineral chemical compounds, or a combination of the two.

Now on topic, I have 200 oz of silver and will start buying a small bit of gold now before it spikes too next month when I saved enough. Only problem is storage and buying requirements in California that makes me do big bulk purchases if I want to avoid taxes.

Fuck me, for the second line, need to revise the definition as this instead.

Not with the luster definition, it isn't. You can get the conductivity thing down to a tee doing all sorts of pressure, cooling, and/or changing neutrons to each element.

I also forgot to mention, some also include malleability as part of the definition but I don't because that can easy be changed via alloying.

Nah m8, you need a cloud-shaped orbital with equal distribution of electric charge. Yes: Lithium, Berillium and fellows from below in the PT are considered metals because their "active" s2 orbital (or hybrid sp) is a sphere, but B, C, N, O, F families are not metals if their have high electron density or no d-orbital filled to hybridate with the last p-orbital (i.e. F, Cl, O, S, N, C).

Absolutely useless knowledge to make money, tho.

1500 oz of silver and 15 oz of gold. One of the worst investments of my life. Shit goes nowhere and if I decide I need to sell some off I end up losing money because no one pays spot or melt it is always a few bucks under melt.
