Couldn't agree with you more. Get your money out of their system. I started stacking physical precious metals years ago. Own the physical stuff, not the paper derivatives. There's more claims on physical PM's then there are ounces in circulation.

And I own crypto's, while I understand many people don't have the stomach for them, either because of lack of knowledge or because of the volatility (which will dissapear when trade volume grows larger).

Don't ever trust CBDC's, our rulers will not be able to keep their paws of the minted volume. If you want an example, take a hard look at the Venezuelan Petro.

I've always found https://www.litebit.eu/en a solid company for buying cryptocurrencies in the EU. Low rates, and plenty of crypto's to choose from.

Interesting. I left bitstamp just after they were hacked years ago, but went back because at the time it was one of the few available options. Has Litebit ever been hacked? Good service?

As far as I know they've never been hacked. Although it's been a while since I bought any crypto at all due to portfolio diversification, I remember them as having an excelent service. My questions were dealt with in a timely and courtious fashion, and they even answer the telephone if need be. It's just the business hours are a bit odd for people in the Americas because they're based in the Netherlands, and I don't know how much they facilitate offramps that suit people from the States.

Ok. I might look to add it as an option. I'm in Poland with an EU passport so it should work. You see the dutch MP kid who scorched Rutte's ties to Klaus recently? Forgot his name but Europe could use more like that kid. Thousands more in positions of power.

Yes, Gideon van Meijeren from the Forum for Democracy (FvD) party, of which I'm a proud member. All their MP's are like that, so they catch a lot of flak. I've even wrote a small article about it on here: https://dutchpartisan.substack.com/p/small-incidents-used-to-silence-opposition

I will remember his name now. He's earned it. Thanks.
