Gold being denser and worth much more by volume means you can hide it much better. You can literally store millions of euros/dollars in a small space. With silver, you need 126 times more space to store the same value.
Example 3 liters of gold, the volume of two 1,5l water bottles => 57,9Kg of gold => 2,5 millions dollars
2,5 millions dollars => 3971Kg of silver => 378 liters of silver. So you need the space of a full bathtub, instead of 2 water bottles.

i think invest in silver is a great investment,because silver is needed in every country and the demand of silver is as much as the demand of gold, the least thing people like about silver is the price is not as high as gold, but silver still a great option of investment tool
I think that silver can be good but its not that its the best thing you can do in my eyes, you can better pick gold due to the fact the market is simply better than silver.
Although silver is not bad to invest in but if you have the money gold is also nice to have and it will rise also pretty fast.

I don't think silver will be as useful as gold, since gold can be used in electronics and other uses,
but silver will still always have some value, and has had slight gains recently.
I'm sure its a pretty safe investment. I don't see the value going down, but you probably won't get a huge return on your investment.
If you are okay with a slight profit its definitely solid.

silver has very similar properties as gold and is also used a lot in electronics and other applications.
silver is also a pretty reliable store of value. and much cheaper to get into than gold.
that's the advantage of owning limited things in this planet
Of course it is. Everything that has a limited supply and a use will never lose its price.
Gold and bitcoin are better value IMO.
But still the advantage of silver against bitcoin is the value are stable so it still worth for being investation

If gold was at the price of silver, it would have plenty more industrial applications too. And if silver was the price of gold, it would have much less industrial applications.

In fact it's exactly the other way around. The usage of gold in real world applications is minimal compared to its use as a jewelry and investment metal (gold coatings in electronics - while highly visible - are extremely thin). A much greater percentage of produced silver is used for real world applications, not only in electronics (soldering, high conductance applications, solar panels, batteries) but also increasingly for medical purposes (making use of its germicidal properties).
Silver has both the best electric and temperature conductance of all metals. This is a perfect setup for increased use in future technologies in a world that relies more and more on electricity.
The industrial relevance of silver can be noticed by it's price reactions to economic downturns. It tends to be affected much stronger than gold. However in times of high inflation, silver is a much sought for safe-haven asset and tends to perform better than gold. In that regard it has a dual character as being both an industrial commodity and an investment object.
ya.ya.yo!

To my opinion all precious metals have always been good investment, good way to store the money. More or less they all keep their value and I don't think you can lose much, especially on long term. To decide between silver or gold, I'm not so sure, maybe gold has better perspective. But besides the metals I would also invest in Bitcoins.
as investment wise Gold is better than silver , Silver looks good ,but advantage of gold is you can store it as a Paper gold like gold ETF (exchange traded fund) and you can sell it at exchange same as gold and if you can convert it to real physical gold and use it for jewelry etc.
If I wanted to store some gold I would definitely not do it with shitty paper gold which is absolutely worthless!Just because some gave you a promise that you could change it for real gold doesn't make that become true!!!
Check the recent Deutsche Banks news for that!
You wanna store gold than only go with physical gold!!
ETFs are just a trading and speculation vehicle for the big players to mess up with the price and fool the small people!!

Gold is not the only currency that is traded electronically, silver can be traded as well.
Plus silver jewellery is pretty common too.

I prefer gold over silver. Since you want to store your money, gold takes much less space than silver. While 1 ounces of gold can store 1300$, silver only can store 20$. Gold is a lot better.
No I think silvers not a good store of value if you want to store some value I would choose for gold because its more stable and also has some good potential to get some nice profits with.
Gold is better and it also has a larger market.

Yeah you did very. I would also be more supportive and choose gold as an investment or for a store, because gold prefer a very good potential and also being one of the gold more than goalkeepers of silvers. I don't think that silvers will rule the market, because quite a lot of silvers supplies than gold

As the title suggests, please share your views on silver and its store of value.
Silver has been used for money for thousands of years before us. But will it continue to have this function?
Why silver again ? and why not we go with gold or even bitcoin.Silver has been used for money for thousands of years before us. But will it continue to have this function?
I mean to ask what is the special feature can enjoy to have silver as store of value. But I agree both gold and silver has continuous market demands and their value appreciations too almost similar. Still, we are moving out of gold towards bitcoin, why we need to consider the third one, silver.
This may be one of the reason, OP is interested to discuss about silver here.
Yes of course. You are correct with it was use before
as a money already and silver has a value justnlike gold though it was lesser than gold. But it is also a good investment. My friend before told me to invest in jewelries made of gold and silver. Because we might woke up one day that paper money has no more value. Gold and silver were the top metals that are reall good for investment. And, did you know that olympic gold medal was actually compose of more silver than gold. I just read that and I think it is true.

It's true because gold is extremely expensive, and dense, so a pure gold medal would have to be small, and would be too expensive.
You can get a large silver bar weighing 15Kg for about 20BTC, about the same size as a 1,5l water bottle. For the same amount, you can only buy a small 250gr gold ingot, 5cm long !
