 I don't see the value in silver. Yes, there is a limited amount of it, but it will take a few more years to be fully extracted and then I will have a large stock of it. And as a store of wealth? Certainly not. Imagine how much you'd have to have compared to gold. Nowadays, BTC is clearly the number one store of value - you can use gold, art, etc. as a reserve.

And as always "don't take my word for it, everyone has their own mind and their own life"✔️ 
 Ultimately, it all boils down to how expensive it is to mine something. We will also reach a peak for easily accessible silver in the next decade. Silver is certainly useful for local trading. For food etc. If you have a lot of assets, then gold and bitcoin is the better choice. A tube of silver ounces never hurts.
