Why investment beginners should consider precious metals...

If you're just getting into investing and feeling overwhelmed by all the options out there — stocks, crypto, funds, NFTs — I get it. I've been there. When I first started back in 2015, I found myself drawn to something a little more… grounded. Something I could actually hold in my hand: gold and silver.

I know they might seem old-school, but that's kind of the point. When everything else feels unstable — inflation, volatile markets, tech crashes — precious metals offer a sense of calm. They don’t rely on governments, interest rates, or some algorithm. They’re just real, tangible stores of value.

My own journey started small — a few silver coins, a bar here and there. It wasn’t about getting rich quick. It was about slowly building something solid that I could pass down. There’s something reassuring about knowing your wealth isn’t just a number on a screen. It’s real. It’s in your hand.

For beginners, that’s what I’d suggest: start small, learn as you go, and enjoy the process. Stacking is personal — some do it for security, others for the beauty, and many (like me) just love being part of the community. It’s about patience, discipline, and thinking long term.

That said, I’m not a financial advisor — just a passionate stacker sharing what’s worked for me. Always do your own research and make the choices that feel right for you.

A gram silver is still a silver right? I found a silver coin on the marketplace, but still a little bit hesistate to buy it because of the originality issue.

Brief and apt.
There's this hidden gem in stacking for the long term.

It gives one this shock when he/she realizes how the little has compounded (grown) to become something of real value.
