Silver may have as little as a month to develop real momentum. Cryptos won't be down forever, and silver needs to distinguish itself fast. That momentum is needed to take money away from cryptos. Right now new money is unlikely to go into cryptos, but for how long? Silver needs to be the story of early 2023, otherwise it will be left behind by the crypto recovery. FTX, by the way, is a story about exchanges and greed, and every asset can run into this kind of problem. Most existing holders of cryptos aren't selling, and many are just moving their coins off exchange, into self-custody. You should also remember that silver is a probably a short to medium term investment. If you want a long-term investment I would have said you're better off with Bitcoin.
