An estimated 1,300 lbs of gold is permanently removed from the supply every year due to being used as a food topping.
Central bankers tongue my anus

How bad of an idea would it be to dump $300k into Gold right now?
>>61197651>you can't eat itWatch me

Thoughts?I'll spend some of my silver on a barret 50 cal to vaporize iqdelet once and for all.
>>61197676Florida has zero personal income tax, making this a nothing burger for the majority of people. Can it be used to pay property taxes?
>>61197664depends how long you want to hold.I'd guess it's a safe bet over a period of 30 years but who knows what it will do short term? In the past it has usually crashed a bit after mooning and then crabbed for decades
>>61197664You have amassed that much spendable money and you're asking such a retarded jeet-tier question? Ummm... larp alert?Diversify you dumb nigger, invest into physical gold, physical silver, physical platinum, and maybe some miners.
>>61197664DCA in over the next few months, maybe $50k per month for 6 months or $100k per month over 3 months.Maybe put some of that money into Silver as well.>>61197650I wonder how much of that could be recovered by processing sewage in extremely wealthy areas.
>>61197597Did somebosy say gold?
>>61197676>Thoughts?Gotta read it first....https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2025/215.986
>>61197683Jarvis, please provide a long-term chart that explains this "mooning into crabbing" cycle, circle the specific instances of this happening for decades, and then finally explain the correlation of the current bullrun to any of that.
A common misconception about "legal tender" is that they have to take gold / silver in exchange for a purchase. This is not true. Unfortunately, the seller can always to refuse to take forms of payment they don't like / want. Making this law only a cosmetic change. "Legal tender" just means you can use it to pay debts; it doesn't mean that you are guaranteed to be able to use your gold / silver to buy real estate, for example.
>>61197696They specify this in the law and say that you can use it to pay the government, but private sellers don't have to recognize it.Yes, it's more about whether or not the government takes it. The government can't refuse your pennies, because it's legal tender.
>>61197693there's only been 2 cycles of moon/dump/crab-for-decades because gold price was pegged to the dollar until ~50 years ago
>>61197676>Thoughts?First:>(1)(c) “Gold coin” means a precious metal with the chemical element of atomic number 79 in solid form, in the shape of rounds, bars, ingots, or bullion coins, which is valued for its metal content and stamped or imprinted with its weight and purity and...That seems to disqualify the US gold commemoratives that don't have any such stamps.For example...https://www.apmex.com/product/227992/1917-gold-1-00-mckinley-memorial-bu
Now it would be super duper based for there to be a law saying "you are guaranteed to be able to buy real estate with PMs" but unfortunately I don't think we'll ever see that.
>>61197708Now I must ask, what is the cycle for fiat debt instruments to crash and burn? Methinks we're near that point.
>>61197727US commems are already legal tender under fed law
>>61197731the rise of gold is the same cycle as the fall of fiatgold doesn't go up or down, fiat doesyou know that
Reminder to always check any CoinStar you happen upon. Found this today.
Uh oh, time's limited...What is the world's oldest continuously working fiat currency?Determining the *absolute* oldest continuously working fiat currency is surprisingly complex and depends on how you define "continuously working" and "fiat currency." However, **the Banco de Portugal (Portugal’s central bank)** consistently points to the **Portuguese Real (Real Português)** as the world’s oldest continuously circulating fiat currency.Here’s the breakdown of why and the complexities:* **Origin & History:** The Real was first introduced in 1809 during the Napoleonic occupation of Portugal. It was initially pegged to the Spanish Real, and over time, Portugal developed its own independent currency.
>>61197745I would be smiling for two whole days. The best thing I found in the last few weeks was a wheat penny.
>>61197761I keep getting these in change almost every day the past week. It's like someone found their grandpas old collection and started spending it.
>>61197670I think your confusion on the matter is you don't make distinctions between precious metals and numismatics.Numismatics may be made with PMs (or not), but their value is completely detached from it. Each slabbed coin you've seen posted by this anon could buy you a car, while they have an intrinsic value of like $35 a pop.Those are two entirely differents topics, one is about the purest form of money, the other is a collectable. They don't follow the same price trends, they don't have anything in common. Even if initially the numis coin was money, it's now 100% a collectable item. But on /pmg/ we allow to post about both PMs in bulk (junk, rounds, bars,...) and PMs-related collectables. Both are investments but follow differents rules. I hope that make it clear for you.
90% best %
>>61197761Just this last Wednesday, the same CoinStar yielded the equivalent of a roll & a half of nickels. That was a strange find.
>>61197741Yep, agreed. The spot price of gold doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, it's tracking the "health" of whatever fiat system we're trapped in.>>61197755>double dubsHistory doesn't repeat but it sure as Hell does rhyme. Sure, the USD has been a global reserve currency for 80 years now post Bretton Woods, but before that the Pound sterling held a "global reserve" status for MUCH longer, two centuries at least.
>>61197780war nickels? I'm wondering why they got filtered?that's pretty weird either way
>>61197797>it's tracking the "health" of whatever fiat system we're trapped in.I like you put "health" in quotesIn my experience when gold has been steady, the economy has been stagnant. So the fiat might be relatively "healthy," but only because trade has slowed to a crawl. As soon as people start making and spending more fiat, the value goes down faster. Every boom and every bust drops the value of the dollar
>>61197797>but before that the Pound sterling held a "global reserve" status for MUCH longer, two centuries at least.Average lifespan of a reserve currency has been about 94 years.
>>61197772As a leaf i mainly have 80% Canadian with some 90% u.s. But its like a 100oz Canadian junk to 25oz u.s constitutional ratio.
>>61197772I just noticed the Canadian silver dollars on the side, very nice.
>>61197664its a good idea if you dont want to hold worthless paper in a few yearsthe entire world is falling apart dudewhat are you waiting for
>>61197664>>61197847Just a little word of advice... gold is based, but silver is even more based.
>>61197839>>61197844I love the old Canadian silver. I try to snatch some up just as often as i go for old US silver. wish I had alot more
Anyone want some IQ Dalit rounds? I bought a few because they were the same as secondary generic.
>>61197797History DOES repeat. That tired quote is so fucking stupid please stop using it. Mark Twain was such an overrated cuck too but that's another story. He stayed in his aunt's cabin and had the audacity to claim he lived in the wilderness for inspiration. What a fucking douchebag. Also that quote is literally used by government shills all over YouTube and started being espoused nonstop this year. It's good goy slop. >>61197865This is true. Silver will go up far more.
>>61197865Gold is basedsilver is going to be Moon-based (the price will be based somewhere on the moon)
>>61197844>Canadian silver dollars on the sideThis is also a Canadian dollar on it's side.
>>61197664I wouldn't go all gold. Silver has more upside, and if you are buying that much you should toss in at least a tube each of platinum and palladium. With that much I would probably go 150-225 into gold (depending on what your risk level is)Then after a tube of the main plats the rest into silver. Figure 2k a coin if you buy bullion so 40k for a tube of each. Leaving you with up too 100k to gamble in the ridiculously good fundamentals silver has right now. With India going 1:10 GSR in April worst case you could always send someone with your silver and 10X it into gold in 8 mos. Just my 2 cents if you're looking at PM's. If your asking about is it dumb to buy 300k of gold, answer is only if you think things are going to improve anytime soon. If you don't see inflation going away or world peace breaking out then anytime soon then i'ld say buy all the gold you can.Gold doesn't need a dollar value. It's the ultimate shiny. Literally claimed by God in the Bible as his. It's value will always be that it's gold, not that it's worth 300k.Also, weekly reminder that every gold holder has a bigger stack than a "First World" nation.
>>61197684Probably a shitcoin holder that cashed out you fucktard. Why you think the casino crashed. Alot of flush guys that are out of their depth now that the casino is over. They where masters there but in the real world they are like babes to the slaughter. So how about you slow your fucking roll and spoon the nufags for a bit. Even if he is larping, a lot of lurkers here have the same question. >>61197664Welcome nufag. >Who has the "how to buy PM's" infographic? Can somebody post before a junior scammer rapes this guy

>>61197953for most of my life gold has been around $300 per oz.when it finally went up it then spent decades hovering around $1000$4k might be the new floor, I don't know. But gold going up bigly is a very recent thing. Last couple years is all. Since around covid.

>>61198069If he does, he'll probably die before too much longer. Vance is the promised messiah.
>>61197745The jewstars are so funny, like they take a percentage of everything but they're configured to not just dispense the closest money they have because...IDK it doesn't feel like it.It's peak corporate laziness when they regularly dump dollars worth of value out because nobody told them.This happens around the country millions of times a year at least, literally throwing away millions of dollars as a company because someone doesn't know what they're doing.
hard shell tacos are also fine
>>61198087putting your V nickels in with the silver has always triggered my tism
>>61198082
>>61198087How can you stand those taco shells?
>>61198103Isaiah 53:3
>>61198109those are standing taco shells. they stand up by themselfs
>>61198074ranch on tacos?
>>61198132yes. sometimes i put enough lettuce, tomato and green onions on my taco, its almost like a taco salad, so the dressing is a natural thing to add, and its nit so far removed from sour cream anyways, so its not like its weird or anything senpai
>>61198123Tacos natural place is on thier sides...disgusting...
Good evening, frens, hope you and your stacks are having a wonderful weekend.
>>61198171I helped a friend move from a kinda not great apartment he can no longer afford, to his ex-step moms basement today...It was sad.
I want it bros ;_;
>>61198160you might have the tism
>>61198192holy shit, we could make that for $12 in materials plus the cost of silver
>>61198192Stupid premium. That's a waste of dry powder.
The original.
I used to hate Franklin Halves, then I bought a roll of them and now I can't get enough of them.I used to think the design as being one of the uglier ones put on Silver, but now I see it as something that evokes nostalgia for the 50s (even though I was born decades later).I'm not sure if I have Stockholm Syndrome or if they're actually genuinely good coins.
>>61198220Who is we anon? :^)>>61198223I know I know ….just admiring
Wage,,,,,,,buy rocks,,,,,,,die,,,,,,the stacktard way,,,,lmao
>>61198235>Who is we anon? :^)meI could make that with a toy in my kid's closet and a couple bucks worth of plaster, a cardboard box, some duct tape, and a propane torch.
>>61198087The best part about this pic is the keyboard from 1992.
>>61198240>plasterCan plaster even withstand having molten Silver poured into it?
>>61198240I thought you mean out of silver but your kid must be stoked to have a handy dad like you.
>>61198240Sounds like a solid side hustle.
>>61198245isn't that anon the same one with the cherry blossom mechanical keyboard from a few years back?
>>61198248Yes, I cast in plaster fairly often. It burns the mold out but it's good for one use.>>61198250Yeah, we'd have to buy a few hundred dollars worth of silver to cast it, but silver would burn the plastic toy right out of the mold
Today I bought 1 oz gold and 90 oz of silver.
>>61198258great anon10 more oz of silver and you officially have the"barely gonna make it" starter stack.
>>61198253at those prices it would totally be worth it
>>61198214Just bustin your balls. I tried them once and hated them. Half of them were broken in the box, the ones that werent cut the shit out of my mouth. After a lifetime of eating folded taco shells, eating a right angled taco shell felt horrible and ruined that taco night. Never again....the standing up made it easier to load though...but still...fuck those shells.
>>61198248Probably the hardest part would be getting the metal up into the fins on the back. You'd need a vent hole for each fin and spike
>>61198265And you can use the earnings to buy more silver.
>>61198272If I could sell themI'm guessing there's not a ton of sales volume on something like that. I would need to sell 10 a month minimum I'd guess.
>>61198265Just recently cleared 280 oz of silver, my goal is 300 by the EOY... don't know if I can dew it Chief, my disposable FedBucks are running thin and I have a vacation planned.
>>61198263Nice, thanks.
Meant to reply to this anon >>61198263oop
>>61198278I figured but I'm curious where you're going on vacation
>>61198275>vacation1527toz of silver hereI don't go on vacationsI just save fiat to buy more silver
Are goldbacks a good idea or just a meme? I've been looking into them but I can't really figure out how well they might do.
>>61198286I buy and sell collectibles and I haven't bothered buying any. They look really cool and collectible but the premium is high and the supply is enormous. I don't think they're going to moon on the collector's market. Not like rare pokemon where the demand is huge and supply of certain cards is very small.
>>61198192I have the Trex, they're fun.>>61198223Casting statues out of silver is not cheap, anon.
My average silver per ounce cost is $24 for 600 ounces even after buying some at $48. I feel like I've done pretty good.
>>61198296>Casting statues out of silver is not cheap, anon.I would estimate the stego would take about $12 in materials other than silver, and about 2 hours labor. That's assuming we destroy the original using lost plastic method and mold off an existing plastic dinosaur toy.
>>61198292Thanks, ill probably just stick to silver or getting gold whenever I can.
>>61198306My youngest son collects goldbacks because they're cool. I think they're fun to own. I just don't expect them to turn a profit unless gold doubles. Which might happen but then you'd be better off with cheaper bullion.but yeah, they might be a decent choice if you can't buy full ounces at a time. The premium on fractions is pretty high even on bars.
what does /pmg/ think of paying premiums on fractional gold for the sake of liquidity?
>>61197780I hit a coinstar a few weeks ago and found around 20 pennies, 3 coppers. I know they’re just pennies but whats the thought process behind just walking away from all that?
>>61198320it costs very little to cut a coin up or melt it into beads. And it can be done pretty easily as you need smaller amounts.also below a certain amount you can just mine the stuff in a lot of place. Like if you need a gram of gold where I live you can just go pan the river for a few hours and get it.
>>61198326They probably didn't even notice that there was a reject slot.
>>61198282Somewhere in South America, should I do an experiment (failure) like vid related?https://youtu.be/wc7V6s564gQ?si=DcBf-NhdIHmQWKB->>61198283At a certain point there's no way to hide that much silver, you probably have ten pelican cases assembled into a mattress frame.
>>61198304You have to make the mold, spend the labor to make it, and have a furnace capable of casting it, using a lot of energy. Then you have to get out all the cast marks with sanding/sand blasting.It's guaranteed at least 2 man hours, so your $12 estimate is just ridiculous. Have you ever cast anything out of metal? It's tedious.
>>61198346>you probably have ten pelican cases assembled into a mattress frameDoesn't take up as much space as you think. Granted I also own several gun safes and have it distributed between most of them, and a few other spots. But several Pelican cases under a mattress? Not that big. Think about 5, .30 cal ammo cans in terms of space.
>>61198283You are 1% of the way to a make it stack despite living in austerity,,,,,are you even trying? Lmao wage,,,buy rocks,,,,die
>>61198357Silver really has a terrible value density when compared to gold. Yeah yeah 1:80 will go to 1:15, but in the meantime it's far easier to store 5 ozt of gold compared to 400 ozt of silver.Any of you lads swap to stacking gold over silver because of the hassle of storage?
>>61198353I use propane or MAPp to melt.The mold I'd just take a plastic toy, tape chopsticks and toothpicks for air vents and pour spout. Then pour a half inch of plaster in a cardboard box, set the toy in, and pour the rest of the plaster to cover it. Remove the chopsticks and toothpicks after the plaster hardens, wait a day for it to dry, and then melt and pour.it might take a while to file off the sprue marks, but silver is soft and I have a dremel
>>61198346Lmao no one wants his garbage rocks,,,,,baggies rekked
>>61198368And how cheaply do you value your labor to do this for $12? Perhaps you meant $12FV of 90%...
>>61198372No I'm talking the cost of the plaster and toothpicksmy time doesn't matter, but like I said I'd need to sell at least 10 per month to make it worthwhile
I keep putting off buying and the price just keeps getting higher, fuck I hate being indecisive.
>>61198378>I'm talking the cost of the plaster and toothpicksand plastic dinosaur toysthe cost of the silver would be hundreds of dollars, and the time would just be worth whatever the profit is.
>>61198378While it's admirable you can sell your labor at $0/hr, businesses cannot. Hence, a silver statue will not be a mere 110% of spot price.
I had a large piece of sterling silver I forgot about on eBay and hadn't repriced since the price of silver shot up. The scrap value for this piece is significantly higher than for what it sold. FML
>>61198388they're running higher than 100% marginsI can easily go cheaper than that. Anyone can with a bit of practice. That's about $200 per hour, assuming you can actually get the sales
>>61198283He's literally me holy shitI judge my last truck purchased based how many ounces of silver or gold it would cost
>>61198296Can I see your Rex anon?
>>61198346I've always wanted to pan in brazil or hunt emeralds in colombia. Maybe visit the galapagos or see copacabana. Hike parts of ecuador. so far I've only been to belize, guatamala, honduras and mexico. Amazing stuff down there
>>61198410Well, by all means, go ahead and try to compete with them and let me know how it goes. Hope your stuff passes a sigma test.>>61198446Here you go.
>>61198283>>61198360Interesting juxtaposition here. On a fundamental basis based on the global population who not only need a means to save money but also products to consume, the spreadsheets breaking this down reveal that it only takes 65 ounces to be in the top 20% of all silver owners and a peasily 365 ounces to be a 1%er. One thing to know about common characteristics paid shills/bots have is they constantly attack strawmen. Someone whose massive stack of 1500 ounces and IQ DELETE says it is ONLY 1% of make-it stack.This dichotomy surrounds solely on one thing: The purchasing power and integrity of the dollar. IQ is insisting the Federal government will be able to just print a free $2-3 trillion per month to balance the books and somehow everything will be fine in three years. That's not possible. These debts are exponential functions, so they get worse by the day, not better. So if IQ Delete is wrong, that means 1500 ounces is not 1% of a making it stack. It puts you in the top 0.01% PM holders on the PLANET. I'd rather have 1 ounce of silver than $1TN of a bond that will never be paid. What is the point of being repaid dollars when you know they will buy less in the future?Conclusion: Precious metals win. The poo smearing poojeet-bot can't even make a single cogent argument reguting this>word salad
>>61198474I've seen the silver one, but I wonder what it takes to be a 1% in terms of gold. Can't be more than 3 ounces.
It’s interesting looking at gold’s TA, there’s just so much buying despite the RSI being continuously off the charts almost. Only 2008 showed something similar in recent time. Many indicators say that the stock market is due for a correction/crash soon. Recently, there’s these regional banks having issues + the REPO market being almost at 0. If or when that happens holf and silver will be taken along with it. Does anyone have any opinion on how the next few months will pan out?
>>61198474Sir, that's a word steak. A juicy, delicious word steak.
>>61198472Thanks fren does he have a name?
>>61198480Stats among gold owners vs general population will give you different numbers of course. baldguymoney iirc said for gold owners it’s like 20 oz or so to be top twenty %
>>6119847410 years of pmg and no one has made it,,,,,,lmao fact is stacking is the way lazy idiots cope
>>61198472>Well, by all means, go ahead and try to compete with them and let me know how it goesyou just like to arguecasting silver is easy and fun. When I was a kid I used to mold modern quarters and then cast them in silver just to see how hard it would be to counterfeit old coins. It's something I do for fun. I went to college for dinosaur paleontology, so the Stegosaurus stenops with the parallel plates modeled after Marsh and Lull's reconstructions looks like shit to me and someone could do better.
>Jde8ifKmWe can all tell your kids got bullied in school hardbail on this thread
>>61198502Yes yes, paleontologists always say the dinosaur is all wrong.Don't you have a Spinosaurus to completely redo or something?Yeah, I like to argue, because it's just not a profitable endeavor to cast silver statues, and you will likely run into problems with ensuring the purity. However, I would love to be proven wrong.
>>61198512One of my kids was state champion in wrestling, he never got bullied that I know of. The other was homeschooled and also not bullied.sorry it bothers you that casting sculptures in metal is not particularly difficult or time consuming. It's a weird thing to get mad about.
>>61198517Timestamp posters are based.
>>61198518>you will likely run into problems with ensuring the purity.I'd be melting sterling, the purity isn't my jobthe hard part would be listing the things where they'd actually sell on a regular basis. But you bought one so there is hope.
>>61198434Sometimes I do crude calculations on how much money I threw away on booze from about 2000 to 2010 and how much metal I could have bought back then.
>>61198367>Hard to store 400 ounces of silverI'm always left wondering what makes people think this, do you all live in shoeboxes or something?That amount of silver can literally fit anywhere, like one singular safe even.I could see it getting hard if you had like 2,000 or maybe 3,000 ounces, but otherwise it's just a couple safes / ammo boxes / whatever. My 300 is literally effortless to store, the hard part is putting it where it's supposed to be instead of taking it out and touching it.
>>61198518what I mean is say we take 10 oz of .999 and melt it in a clean crucible and then pour it into a mold that contains no metal, did the purity change?because i'm guessing .999 melted and poured into a mold is still going to be at least .99same with the advertised statue. If I melt .925 in a clean crucible and pour it into a mold with no other metals, I'd expect it to still be .925 when it's done. No metals added or removed in the melt and pour.a simple assay would verify the purity, but there's no reason the purity coming out should be any different than what went in, right?
>>61198527>the purity isn't my jobIf you are selling it as sterling, yes it is.>>61198564"Hard" is a relative term. Do you disagree it's easier to store 5 oz of gold versus 400 oz of silver.But yes, fondling is fun.
> tell my close friend about gold and silver and why I buy physical> he’s afraid to buy physical gold because he’s worried it will be fake for some reason> procrastinates for months then decides to on a whim get a bunch of leveraged positions in gold when it was at its all time high recentlyLives in my head rent free recently. You would think he’s stupid maybe based on this information, but he’s a very intelligent person with a high paying job in finance.
>>61198573>Do you disagree>Hard is a relative termWeaseling out of it immediately. It's literally just a single canvas bag of junk silver that you could carry around, and that's not even .999https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmT9-q3navM
>>61198573>If you are selling it as sterling, yes it is.it's my job to verify it, but that costs $60 if I pay someone else to do it and nothing if I do it myself.and more importantly, the purity will be whatever I use for feedstock. If I melt sterling the final product will also be sterling
>>61197676I’m seriously going to look for an Indian guy taking pictures with coins on my travels and slap the shit out of that person. Doesn’t even have to be Delete
>>61198518also,>Yes yes, paleontologists always say the dinosaur is all wrong.your rex looks good to me.I could criticize the tail and legs for being a bit light but overall it's a great sculpture.
Anyways, I'm the guy who said I was gonna start buying 10 ounce bars, I changed my mind after some good fondling.There's something primal about junk silver that makes you immediately realize its value whenever you touch it, I'm only buying junk from now on and nothing else. .999 is nice and all, but it can't compete with something you can touch and play with that's also fractional and cheaper. I'd buy 1 gram coins if they were the cheapest even.
>>61198571If you are in a perfectly sterile environment and have a perfect crucible with no contaminants, sure. Granted, I have not cast silver before, but have had plenty of times casting copper, brass, and aluminum where flux was necessary.>>61198578Tell me which of these is easier to store.>>61198591<3 At least we are agreed on feathered Rexes being fake and gay.
>>61198600sameIf I can't touch it I don't want it. I'm not buying coins and bars for other people to admire. I want to hold them.
>>61198604>flux was necessary.I've never done an 8 oz pour using propane heat, but I've done 2 oz without flux before. I'd guess a big pour would just take more time if we did it dry.><3 At least we are agreed on feathered Rexes being fake and gay.I literally helped write the book on that oneI contributed to both Larson's 2008 work on wyrex and Bell et al. 2017 on rex scales vs feathers
>>61198617We have skin impressions of Rexes, right? Maddening that people will insist on large therapods being feathered.
>>61198517Sad
>>61198625Yes, there are dozens of skin patches both from wyrex and the bloody mary (dueling dinos) specimens. As well as dozens more from tarbosaurus, albertosaurus, and daspletosaurus.there are no known feathers, and lots of scales. This was acknowledged even in the yutyrannus paper. Rex didn't have feathers. We've known that for a very long time.
>>61198531In the future you will do calculations on how much you wasted on retard rocks and how much you could have spent on productive assets
>>61198408I make a lot of money buying old previously listed ebay junk. If you were selling a silver serving tray I am sorry. I also bought sterling ornaments
>>61198501It's more important to be positioned to profit from the credit crunch than to hope you survive it. We've seen this played out before so it's not a big mystery what is happening here. The debts are too big to be repaid so trade will be recalibrated against gold. If gold is what is recalibrated, silver is a leveraged play on gold. Everyone on the planet is packing millionaire tier portfolios of dollary-doos and fiat-funny-munny. I just trust that it is all hot air, temporary. The U.S. economy has not grown WITHOUT the expansion of credit since 1983. And back then your grandparents and great-grandparents used to wash their aluminum foil. They ate out getting pizza or a bucket of chicken for the family maybe once a quarter. Nowadays, people do nothing but spend their money. Did we just discover the secret to eternal wealth? No. Did we just start spending on credit nonstop?: YesWho pays for all this? Who loses when it's not repaid?! YOU! You own in it in your banks, pensions, social security, insurance, medicare, stocks and real esatate. It is ALL propped up on treasuries that say YOU owe YOURSELF X, contingent on YOU paying $200,000 per person. It's like a cow grazing out in the pasture giving away her milk all her life who ends up with a coupon that says: IOU 1 steak. Oh, Bessy, you want a steak? Just walk into that slaughterhouse and we'll get you one!
>>61198480Problem with gold is that it gets recycled / saved much more than silver, and silver was used in commonly circulating coinage, so much of the ancient gold is still around.There's probably an about equal amount of gold and silver out there because of this, also gold was mined more heavily because it had a higher cost, so it's worth even panning riverbanks for tiny dust particles of it. The scale of mining for both of them is completely different, despite the rarity differences there really isn't much difference between how much gold or silver exist above ground.Also the average person has ZERO gold, but banks and countries still hoard it, whereas the average person has at least a tiny bit of silver somewhere (in the first world)
Sharing silver...Sent this off to my sister as a Halloween gift.She likes it.
>>61198655the only people with a tiny bit of silver are old people who haven't cashed in gramma's silverware yet
>>61198657>spooky silverthat's great
>>61198666You'd be surprised, really.It might not be true for zoomers, but basically everyone 30 and older has either a piece of jewelry or some old coin in a coin jar, or at least something. The average person is actually pretty old in america, and most of them were around before chinese plastic crap flooded the market so much that now all jewelry is fake.
>>61198666I figure silver solder alone in my house is probably a pound or so refined. Then there's fillings in my teeth and silver solder in the garage and in electronics and whatever scrap I have left from making jewelry and sculptures. also the odd silver coin that shows up in change or when metal detecting. And I have a rock collection with about a pound of silver minerals. Probably several pounds of silver for a dude that doesn't even stack silver.
>>61198670>basically everyone 30 and older has either a piece of jewelry or some old coin in a coin jar, or at least something.Theyre "Unaware"s.
Gold up or down?
>>61198706The bullrun resumes this week
>>61198655true, when gold hit $4k USD I started rounding up all my scrap and mining proceeds to sell.I soon will have almost no gold in the house aside from what I or the wife wears on our persons. It's getting expensive enough to recycle and sell every molecule.silver isn't there yetbut it might soon be worth scraping and scrapping
>>61198679Be honest, when is the last time you found silver in your change?
>>61198711>Be honest, when is the last time you found silver in your change?I haven't touched paper money in almost 15 years. Everything is debit or credit or EFT or paypalso it's been a while.I do find silver coins every year with my metal detector, but those don't get sold.
>>61198709What's escrap going for per pound these days?
>>61198701>Fifth Man could be achieved in 4 years just buying 20 ounces per month>Old man could be achieved in 40 years on the same scheduleI've slowly started realizing that (if the moon doesn't happen next year) such stacks are easily achievable. I can buy 20 ounces a month at current prices, there's really not much stopping me.Don't know if I'd make it 40 years though, that might be a little too much. But 4 years? Doable I'm almost halfway there already. 500 ounces is sort of a peanut stack if the price is under 100 dollars an ounce.
>>61198706It's been crashing since pmgs biggest baggie bragged about buying silver for $109 an ounce,,,,lmao that other pmg baggies couldn't see the significance of that cringe behavior
Anyone planning on buying gold or silver to give as Christmas gifts? A few of my close friends who appreciate pm's are getting some pretty silver this year.
>>61198722Why would he buy for 2x the market price
>>61198717>What's escrap going for per pound these days?I can't sell it since china stopped buyingI've been working it myself.
>>61198727I didn't. The bot you're replying to is just using girl math.
>>61198701You still don't get it, no one wants garbage rocks except white incels,,,,lmao you were targeted specifically fir ruination
>>61198087unhinging your jaw to eat tacos is interesting
>>61198732The 401k cashout could be + from the perspective of what the anon put into it if the employer had a good match. 401ks are just a ploy to get people to not purchase assets.
>>61198074I didn't even realize Yukari anon is still around.Been a minute since I've spoken to ya, hope you're doing great.
>>61198743yeplong term the dollar is going to zeroright now a dollar is worth about what a penny was 100 years ago, and the crash is speeding up exponentially
>>61198732Smart move desu. That silver will smoke a 401k.
>>61198653Yep thats why smart and rich people don't buy silver
>>61198727Pmg is a cult of losers they all are retarded and claim you buy rocks and get free virgins free houses
>>61198743>its smart to give $12000 to the government Lmao , thanks for proving my point that all stacktards are morons
>>61198790He's off to a good start, down 59% in 2 weeks,,,,,,lmao at financial incels
>>61198823>Yep thats why smart and rich people don't buy silverSource?
>>61198830So you can never cash out your 401k? What is it you say? Work, pay into your 401k, then die?
>>61198725No bitch they will sell it for fiat. Stupid asshole with your stupid ass question.
>>61198718>Don't know if I'd make it 40 years though,Hopefully your salary/savings will increase over time, and your ability to purchase will be on a curve, not a straight line.
>>61198735The irony>You still don't get it, no one wants your garbage posts, filtered boi.
>>61198836Look at the pmg baggies, dumb and poorThese idiots all claim its smart to give the government half your retirement savings and give up a 30 year tax deferral to buy a risky volatile asset. >>61198790>>61198754>>61198743>>61198732
>>61198842>A few of my close friends who appreciate pm's are getting some pretty silver this year.>A few of my close friends who appreciate pm's>who appreciate pm'shttps://www.k12reader.com/subject/reading-skills/reading-comprehension/
>>61198856Cry more baggie and good riddance i cant help cult members i wish you would all stop responding
>>61198856Protip: Trolling outside of /b/ is a bannable offense. If the jannies become aware that someone is repeatedly trolling, they will ban them.Just sayin'
>>61197839Supposedly Canadian 80% is a more affordable way to stack silver than American 90%. Maybe that's only in the US, I don't know.
>>61198367Its not really a problem for normal people. Most people will never have 6 figures of silver.It only starts to be a problem after 2000+ Oz Average normie stacker probably has like 100 Oz
>>61198863You're poor all you do is work to feed your 401k but you never sell it to enjoy life. How sad,,,lmao!
>>61198882It is, I have a ton of it, but it's slightly harder to get than US junk.
