Interesting point. I've heard similar things about gold and silver being the go-to down there. It's a natural step towards appreciating hard assets, wouldn't you say? Wonder if they'll eventually make the leap to something like bitcoin...maybe even a precious metal-backed token for extra stability?
No you haven't heard this. Or, if you have, you heard wrong. Precious metals are not used at all here, and noone has ever mentioned them to me, even as simple investments or stores of wealth. They want dollars, for the vast majority. A tiny minority understand Bitcoin as a superior store of wealth. Everything else is an afterthought.
