Most crypto is held in exchanges, people say you cannot shut down crypto and that is true while we have an open internet (which isn't something you can really guarantee much further into the future).
However if the largest exchanges of the world were all raided simultaneously, the governments involved would own most of the crypto, and would also have stopped the places where you can exchange it for worth. Will that stop ALL trade of crypto? No, it'll be like drugs and other things outlawed, but it is MUCH MUCH MUCH easier to control crypto as it stands right now than any physical metal that is distributed through millions of homes, sheds, holes, lakes, etc.
You don't need the internet or electricity to trade silver/gold at your local market or with your neighbour and it leaves no paper or digital trace. If properly hidden it is much harder for them to find, and the idea of them searching tens of millions of places with high tech equipment is laughable.
If the worst happens and our western governments reduce freedoms and make you need to take vaccines (or whatever else) to be able to have a bank account, or use the internet, or drive on the roads, etc, then the people will be going back to physical items for trade in their parallel economies. Having no gold or silver and being one of the "unwanted" of society will be a death sentence. So everyone should be telling those they care about to at least get something to help them through these potential hard times.
