Dogecoin is being blocked by most crypto dealers but some how the price continues to rise, if this doesn't prove the game is fixed than you're not paying attention.

If I don't intend to invest, is it still the right way to secure assets in precious metals?
I would like to buy either gold or platinum, but it is difficult to determine when to buy because of the high and stable prices.

Buy what ever you can hold in your hand. That would be my advice, if you buy anything.

I bought a small amount of gold in early March, but as I hesitated to buy more, the price kept going up and up, and I heard rumors that the value of gold would eventually drop significantly, so I was really confused.
I'm glad to have your advice!
Thank you very much.

Gold is awesome, but silver is awesome as well due to the fact the ratio/rate has been suppressed for so long. I would suggest going to local shops and look to see what they have and if it is close to spot price. Buying now before everything unfolds is key. Hope this helps.

How much over spot price would you go?

If it's a local coin shop, 2-3 an ounce is acceptable because they are running a business. 5-8 over on larger size 10-100 ounce bars. Online I am not real sure about the EBS timeline so it is almost not a sure bet silver will get to the buyer. Some online have a 2-3 day turnaround if bought in quantity. I prefer local and they will haggle if you buy quantity. Hope that helps Earnest...
