Hold onto silver for the long haul, not for short term investment. Crypto's have been very profitable in the short term for many people, but they are very unstable. Crypto's rise is based primarily in the lack of trust in the dollar. If the dollar comes back, crypto's will once again return to their low value. I wouldn't bank on crypto's because we have an administration that is set on making America great again. The election of the Trump administration means the US is changing direction.
