Why would they not be, like every other investment they take a hit in crashes, downturns, "events" etc.?
No, they are not. They are inflation hedges and a store of value. If we have nukes going off, food and firearms are the currency de jour.
Either way, silver, gold and crypto go up and down with rest of the market, because people buy them as investments same as anything else.
People traded gold and silver during much more technologically primitive times, i.e what we'll see in a major SHTF situation. It will still be more convenient than barter.
And pms don't go up and down with the rest of the market, they preform better when there is a lot of risk and little return in speculative assets, historically. For example during stagflation of the 1970s.
