the problem is very simple, because this is the investment that pumps the heart.
hence, seniors are not advised to invest here, otherwise they can get a heart attack and die suddenly. Cheesy Cheesy

I think that is because investment in precious metals such as gold and silver is easily liquefied. I think that is why older generations tend to prefer to invest in precious metals, because the form and type of other investments have a tendency to be more difficult to liquefy or can only be claimed at certain times. Unlike the case with gold or silver investments that provide flexibility for these investment holders to be able to withdraw it into cash in a relatively easy way and a relatively short time and more flexible than other types of investment.

I'm not one who would invest in precious metals, but I have noticed that a good amount of the older generations are pretty keen in investing in these metals. They see it as a way to bet against the market, and a security that will always be safe -- even in the times of a market downturn/country failure as a whole.

I personally wouldn't even want to buy these metals in those events, as I don't see the reason to. I'd rather invest in securities that go up when the market shits itself (Payroll lending companies and so on and so forth)

Does anyone here know the reason behind people loving precious metals?
Old people tend to play safe.

They see it in terms of risk reward. Older people tend to go for low risk investment such as precious metals and property. They are less risky in comparison to other investment assets. But the reward is less too. Old people doesn't need much now as their aspirations and desires are almost fulfilled. Also, they are not much risk inclines as compared to younger generation who wants maximum returns in lesser time.

The reason why the older generation invests more with precious metals could be because of, first, they are familiar on how to invest on tangible treasures as that's been done in the past. Another reason is because they don't understand how crypto works.

maybe older people don't really know and understand the benefits of investing in the world of crypto.but in my opinion it is a very wise thought and action because investing in gold and silver has more price stability where prices rise and fall do not occur drastically

Maybe because gold and silver investing is already tested by time and by many people at the same time when cryptocurrency is so new and fresh among them that they just cannot force themselves to trust it.

Maybe this is because people who are older or more alive than us prefer to invest in silver and gold maybe this is because gold and silver are better known to them than this digital currency and again they are more confident in gold and silver

Older people like investing in gold and silver because this idea and traits are pattern from their ancestors that if can acquire a big value of money ,if you can buy a piece of land then you will buy gold, because it had also a purpose ,in case of emergency gold are pawnable, that is why older people would really invest in gold.

Cryptocurrency depends on the Internet, Stock depends on the company, Cash depends on the government. Only Gold / Silver never lose value. It can be said that investment in gold / silver is the most stable investment. And the older generation likes that. Moreover, cryptocurrency has just grown recently, and it is new, so old people can't learn it easily.

Gold and silver are precious metals that have high value, precious metals are more likely to increase in value and also have very little risk. I think they are afraid of risk so they prefer to invest in precious metals rather than cryptocurrencies.

Because in my opinion it is more low-cost and transparent and also not too risky, many people still believe that investing in gold is much safer than buying digital money like bitcoin anymore for older people or older people who don't understand or don't even know about bitcoin.

In my own opinion, the older generations is not updated about what is more profitable today and more reliable and if they only knew about cryptocurrency then they will obviously focus on investing in bitcoins more than gold or silver.

parents like to invest in gold or metal because they used to only know that investing in good is in gold and metal. gold and metal are not easily damaged or not easily destroyed, besides that the gold price will not drop too far or have a stable price.

Gold and silver investment have existed over the ages with a low risk of investment compared to some other investments. The returns or profits are also quite remarkable and since other people can’t afford to loose much they prefer to invest in Gold or Silver with low risk.

a great many people want to put resources into gold since his costs never go down every now and then, his stuff is genuine and can be utilized as adornments and can likewise be purchased and sold whenever when its proprietor requires earnest assets.

I think that's because of the stability factor. As more and more people are reinventing investments through venturing in cryptocurrencies, there are still many people who are quite uncomfortable and unsatisfied with the volatility that still affects cryptocurrencies. On the other hand, gold and silver have been an established and stable asset that has an amount that doesn't go too far off at any point. Although it may go up and down, it doesn't have such an erratic pace like that of cryptocurrencies, and so, more adults, especially those who doesn't want to risk it and gamble that much, they choose gold and silver more than cryptocurrencies.

Older people have a tendency to play safe, they invest in gold / silver because there are physical items. While the stock portfolio is only in the form of a piece of paper. Their bitcoin investment is less preferred because it is stored in a wallet that cannot be seen. In general, long-term gold / silver investment is profitable, but for short-term speculation it is not good because there is only a slight rise or fall.
