This was a seriously appropriate response to my comment! After re-reading it, let me first start by apologizing for coming off the way I did.

It's not that I care what you do with your money, per say, but I care about the Steemit platform. This place is truly great because it's free and non-censored. I am in no way trying to scold you for using boosting bots and upvote services.

The resteem service you sent 2 BSD to: sportic-voice (18) (which was then resteemed through (sportic) (-1). The required resteem price for this is 1 SBD so you totally didn't have to spend 2, but that's not entirely the point.

It is my understanding that there are two ways to contribute to this platform. By contributing quality content, or contributing to the betterment of the platform. My contribution here was intended to inform, not scold, so again I am sorry for coming off that way. I can totally see that you definitely work and post hard, and you absolutely deserve it! I just feel that these resteem services are not only a scam but I feel they hurt the platform. I was wondering how many accounts that are following sportic are actually real humans. So I didn't approach you to scold but to inform.

I don't scold those who use upvote services or anything like that, and I definitely go after those who abuse upvote services and then cash out. I too power up everything I get and I've only used an upvote bot for one of my posts. At the end of the day, what I was trying to do was kindly ask that you look more closely at the bots you use in the future because I feel this particular service is not only a scam, but I also see other minnows using it and as a minnow I feel it is a total waste of SBD. I was not implying you were stepping on my toes by using this service.

With that out of the way, let me apologize again for not properly responding to your post.

I've always wanted to get into precious metals myself but I could never really afford to. It only makes sense for any one in crypto to also get into silver and gold. You are right though, people should get out there and buy now. As for me, I've taken a different approach when it comes to that since I can't quite afford it so I've started scrapping electronics to extract the gold and any other worthy metals out of them. I was surprised to find metal in my old computer mice. It wasn't much, but every little bit counts. I read an article a long time ago that suggests there are millions of dollars worth of gold in landfills because of tossed out electronics.

Great post and I've definitely followed.
