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?

It is simply because older people often believe in what they have experienced and seen, believe in what is sustainable and of real value and stability, so older people often invest. into gold or silver. The bitcoin concept is far too advanced for them, as there are very few countries in the world that recognize bitcoin and allow bitcoin trading.

gold investment is fairly safe because in our country gold has been certified so the level of security is good, gold is also profitable because possessing an increase of more than 16% price per year, gold is also low risk because we simply save it without paying other costs unlike banks where our investment still subject to interest fees, administration fees and more

Older generations aren't aware of technology before so they chose to invest in gold and silver. They defined bitcoin as a fad, a bubble, or a niche investment vehicle for geeks. They don’t always understand the value of the underlying blockchain technology, nor do they understand the importance of having a cheap way to transfer money worldwide

Because they are confident that such investments are more reliable. Because gold and silver always have a price.

Because older people may not know about information technology. They do not learn much about cryptocurrency and when they hear about electronic money, they probably will not trust it because it can be tricky. They often invest in what is traditional, such as gold and silver.

Omicron is another FUD

investment in gold and silver is very good, there is a physical form and a stable price, maybe this reason is the consideration of older people so they are happy to invest in gold and silver...but if we explain continuously to older people about cryptocurrency, I'm sure they'll be interested.

It is simply because older people used to trust gold and silver for a very long time that they couldn't focus on any other investmebt inside the internet because their knowledge is limited. They won't be able to learn about trading as well because they lack in internet knowledge.

I think because they dare not speculate, do not take risks with this very risky investment.
gold is low risk, but gold growth is very slow.

Its not about the risk , its about their mindset, most of this older people who live in early generations is not knowledgeable about cryptocurrency so they still prefer that traditional way which is gold and silver.

Because they have certain intrinsic value other than speculated value because of their use in different areas. I doubt the point that they are pretty famous among investors. That certainly isn't a case, people do prefer diversified investment plan which usually includes certain percentage in gold/silver.

Recently I came across a news that investment in silver is declining steeply because people are shifting their interest to cryptocurrencies.

It is because of familiarity. Like what we know about the past, searching for gold since it is considered that time the most precious metal. So they still think that hold is second to none.

Perhaps older people believe that investing in gold or silver is very promising for the long term. Because gold prices will continue to increase over time. So we do not have to think about that. Gold also has a real form. And this may be the reason of the elderly.

Well, they are old and it still in their minds that precious metals are still the best investments like gold and silver. For them, it is already proven that golds and silvers are reliable.

Elderly people think that precious metals are a reliable investment, provided by something material. It is difficult to be rebuilt when I have spent my whole life with definite views.

Old people have old habits and preferences. They will always invest only in what has been relevant all their lives, and gold is always relevant.

Older people like to invest in gold and silver because they always keep their asset values safe and unobtrusive like Bitcoin or electronic money. They choose the safest way to keep their property worth certain. Older people are perfectionists and they probably do not want to travel with Crypto.

I think they need stability and gold is the right choice for them. Besides, gold and silver are quite popular and are accepted almost everywhere in the world. Besides investing, it can also be used as jewelry and some expensive items. Instead of depositing savings in banks, they choose gold because it is much more profitable than the bank.

Old people likes old technology.

Also, in the end, Crypto currencies still have reliability and acceptance problems. while Gold and Silver don't.

Crypto currency is obviously for the people active to use in social media and other digital system like computer and cellphone, for the older people investment of crypto currency is not compatible for them because of technical struggle due to older situation that's why they choose to invest in Gold and Silver for one time investment.
