A live Q&A from ITM Trading centered on gold, silver, banking risk, and the idea of a future currency reset. The speakers argue that gold and silver remain the core protection assets, that bank deposits have structural risk beyond FDIC limits, and that a weaker dollar and rising sovereign stress support precious metals over time.

This was a casual live stream where the two ITM Trading speakers answered audience questions in real time. Most of the discussion revolved around gold vs. silver, how to buy physical metal, why they prefer pre-1933 U.S. gold coins, and what a “reset” or hyperinflationary currency breakdown could look like. Their main macro message was that gold and silver are both useful, but for different purposes: gold for wealth preservation and silver for more everyday transactional or barter use. They repeatedly discouraged selling silver at a loss just to buy gold, and they argued that holding both makes sense because both are still far from the post-reset environment they expect. They also said they do not make short-term price predictions, though they were willing to speculate enough to say a move to $300+ silver by August seemed unlikely. A major thread was banking fragility. …
Tactically, the message is to stay long physical gold/silver, avoid excess cash in banks, and treat pullbacks as buyable rather than a reason to exit. The biggest immediate risks they flag are banking stress and headline-driven volatility around gold, silver, and China.
Over the next few months, they expect higher metals prices if dollar stress, Treasury yields, and geopolitical de-dollarization keep building. Confirmation would come from continued central-bank buying, renewed weakness in the dollar, and more public concern over bank safety.
The long-run view is a fiat-debasement regime where hard assets outperform paper claims. In that world, physical precious metals remain the main form of monetary insurance, while paper currency, deposit guarantees, and institutional promises lose credibility.
Gold and silver should both be held, but for different functions: gold for wealth protection and silver for everyday utility or barter.
Both speakers repeatedly contrasted the roles of gold and silver.
It is not wise to sell silver at a loss just to buy gold; if you want gold, buy gold separately and keep the silver.
Direct advice against rotating out of silver.
Gold and silver are both fear hedges and inflation hedges.
They explicitly said both.
What is your perspective on gold vs silver — which one should I hold?
Taylor says both — gold and silver serve as both a fear hedge and inflation hedge 100%. Eric adds that gold is less volatile and the majority of his portfolio is in gold, but silver serves a purpose as a daily driver for bartering while gold is for wealth protection on the other side of a reset.
What's the best way to start investing in silver?
Eric says just buy it — go on and buy rounds, bars, eagles, or maple leaves. There's nothing better or worse as far as silver is concerned.
Why is the mint so overpriced?
Eric explains that the mints price their pricing higher because they don't want to compete with the wholesalers and retailers they sell to. The US Mint sells to both wholesalers and retailers, so they price higher to avoid competing with their own wholesale customers.
