If you did that you wouldn't go anywhere near crypto

I was scalping crypto a few years ago till the bloody Elon started his manipulations... I hate him, scalping horse racing on Betfair around 15 years ago plus arbs with online bookies. I lost money only on crypto due to this mf Elon (true that I was 10x leveraged)

Goldbugs have been getting cucked by the inflation narrative for decades. 
 
If you had held the S&P500 since 1925, adjusted for inflation you would have netted zero. You have to get in and out. It's all well and good being the ethical investor, but i'm here to make money to better me and my family. 

Semantics but we were discussing crypto not silver. The idea with crypto is to pump and dump, that's what it's all about with perhaps the exception of BTC - not due to inherent value in BTC but because when people pump and dump other digital assets they re-transition back to BTC (or ETH). Look at NFTs historically or Ordinals today. Cristiano Ronaldo and Binance - Ronaldo is being sued for > $1 billion due to losses suffered on the NFTs he pushed on behalf of Binance. The original sale price was $79 and the current price is less than $1 if I remember correctly.
I have friends who made fortunes from NFTs and cryptos (they were part of the admin group front-running NFTs). I've asked them straight would they buy those items for the price they sold at or do they wish they still owned those items. Can you guess their response? Indeed. They knew their NFTs were intrinsically worth nothing and they were using momentum, FOMO and "community" to essentially con people into paying tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, for nothing of intrinsic value in return
That's different from your silver example. It's virtually certain that silver bullion will exceed £30/ounce within our lifetimes or a period much shorter than that. You didn't try to deceive anyone by flogging them an asset with zero intrinsic value. You offered a trade for fair market value and they accepted. There's nothing wrong with profit or managing your own risk. IMHO you should treat your counterparties as you would like to be treated so that rules out one-sided trades. Everybody should ideally benefit and certainly nobody should be ruined
What is the purpose of a business? If you answered, "to make money", sorry, wrong answer. The purpose of a business is to serve and through service you make sustainable profit. 

Nothing is real, all is manipulated to serve one side or another.

It does if jumping on that merry go round creates negative consequences for the society you live in. If you sell at the peak and make a killing that means some sucker bought at the peak and died. I am an ethical investor, I put my money in things I want to see succeed and that will benefit society. The march towards cryptocurrencies and CBDCs is a march straight into hell - BTC is a trojan horse created by the CIA to acclimatise the masses to CBDCs
I didn't always feel that way. I used to only think in terms of my own greed and not care about anything else as long as I got my cut. In a nutshell that's the problem with the whole world, right? Be the change you want to see
I want to be free and I want to sleep well at night. I do not want to rely on subscription this, digital that, the just-in-time philosophy of the neo-liberal nightmare. Owning gold and silver instead of cryptocurrency and debt instruments helps ease my mind
Sorry for the rant people really shouldn't poke my cage on crypto 😂. Apologies if anyone took offence.
Silver is actually up so far today due to normal trading but flat due to the strengthening USD (DXY), same for gold:

Yay I have joined the forum round gang. Lovely pieces @BackyardBullion !
'Thinking I should have gone for the set'
 

It doesn't stop you from hopping on the merry go round and then hopping off when it looks like the music is about to stop. 😃

Exactly zero use case and 100% on sentiment and what people "think" is going to happen. Same as gold. Silver follows in the footsteps of its big brother and gold is driven by sentiment. 
I am a massive fan of sliver and to be honest I am probably emotionally attached (don't know why) but I will sell when the sentiment swings. I have been burnt on shares and will never touch them again. Luckily I have never been sold fake gold yet and not been scammed with silver. Crypto is a cess pool of degenerates and strangely enough I am quiet comfortable there, most probably be burnt at some point.
 
 
 

I am on here loads, never noticed and you don't come across this way, I block anyone that actively goes out of their way to cause conflict in someone's own personal investment choice. 
The only exception is @HonestMoneyGoldSilver around crypto as find it amusing. 
I am top heavy on silver but I would say it was more of a passion and I have done pretty well out of it (compared to my other choices). Have a hand full of sovereign's but haven bought in ages

I think you may have ten years on me

I'm onboard with both gold and silver. The price of one is 80% described by the price of the other and historically they have comparable returns, with gold coming out on top but not by a huge margin. I hope it doesn't come across I am blasting folks for buying gold because I buy gold, more than 50% of my stack by value is gold. I'd prefer to own more silver tbh but if I keep buying gold I can't afford to also buy huge amounts of silver 🤷‍♂️

I had to fight that fight too

Bullion coins you have to expect it. Although when spending extra money on ‘premium’ bullion coins I can understand the frustration. 

I always find the term death cross to be a bit dramatic. 

I tend to agree that TA is limited, more so in shorter time-frames. It can still be useful though and profitable, just ask Mrs Watanabe!
What I find hilarious are crypto analyses. Every day for the past two weeks it's either been a bull run or a correction, opinion keeps switching constantly which kind of proves the futility of using TA as a stand-alone predictor. The more you use TA the better it becomes though like taking advantage of a slightly biased coin flip
As for gold (and silver), we're trending up. If not Israel and central banks causing it then it must be Diwali, Christmas and CNY, the seasonal rally. Looking good though if we can crack and hold the ATH ($2067) before Christmas. Maybe silver will make it to $28-30

Spend the profit on hookers, cocaine and drink.
Waste the rest on something frivolous and unnecessary
