It is the Season for Alternative Investments

Our world is experiencing a lot of changes. They are happening at a rapid clip. Hang on to your hat. Silver Bell’s, Gold Bowes, and Crypto is not only the title of this blog post, but a message about what is building wealth in this world. The recent drop in bitcoin scared some people. Why? There has been drops before. Bitcoin is still way up. Better than most investments.

Look at the growth of Bitcoin:

December 2020: $19,100
December 2022: $17,100
December 2024: $98,300
March 30, 2025: $78,200
Today (12/4/2025): $92,600

Up and downs. Yes. But overall massive wealth has been built by those that held their ground over the past 5-6 years. If you bought $10,000 in Bitcoin on December 22, 2022, and held this — you would enjoy a 450+% return. What can compete with this?

The Gift of Gold

No Fighting Against Gold

We like gold because it is physical. Nice to have it in possession. Gold has performed very, very well since 2020. In fact, Gold was at $1,840 per ounce on December 4, 2020. Today Gold is at $4,200 plus.

Some economists believe that Gold will reach $10,000 per ounce in the coming years. Is your bank giving this type of return? (LOL)

Calculating Return: Bought Price: $1,840 | Today’s Price: $4,200 | Return: $2,360

Sparkling Silver Lining

If you Bet on Silver You Made a Good Choice

The silver lining is that if you skipped crypto and could not afford Gold, Silver performed very well in 2025. Silver surpassed $58 per ounce up about 100% year-to-date amid tightening supply and expectations of deeper US Federal Reserve rate cuts.

Silver Price (12/2020): $26.41
Silver Price (12/4/2025): $58,13

Bloomberg data showed silver-backed ETFs added about 200 tons on Tuesday, lifting total holdings to the highest level since 2022 amid robust demand.
