The Transactional Layer

Moving metal at the speed of the internet.

Personal Context

I have accumulated physical silver for over two decades. My background is in cybersecurity and systems engineering. I think in terms of layers, redundancy, custody, and failure modes.

To me, physical silver is cold storage: long-term reserve, offline, minimal counterparty exposure.

But modern life still requires a transactional layer. Rent, fuel, travel, and food move at digital speed. Bars and coins do not.

Cold Storage vs Hot Wallet

Physical Metal

COLD STORAGE

Safest. Offline. Zero counterparty risk. Hard to transport.

Allocated Digital

HOT WALLET

Transactional. Liquid. Spendable via card. Audited vaults.
