Yeah I was being facetious with it being "worthless" but its also absolutely true that silver has maintained its purchasing power over decades and decades, while the purchasing power of the USD has shrunk dramatically over that same time. And printing trillions more paper dollars is certainly not going to INCREASE the value of the USD... I guess thats more what I meant..
