Lol no. Stack them all sir
Not at all, it's your life. I'm not sure what use silver has to you though.
Silver has quite a few actually.
I know it has industrial uses. I was wondering what use it had to him which would inspire him to own some.
I'd use it for sterile vessels & other antibacterial uses or a solder additive etc. if not more valuable at the time to trade.
mad does not work well
the argument for that is what if internet goes down?
but the lie machines also need internet so they won't try to shut it down imo.
Nah! Have you read The Mandibles….?
Yep, thought-inspiring book
Ridiculously far fetched…..she says Bitcoin has failed 😂😂
Bitcoin is just fine 
Phew! Few!
lead is great if you combine it with brass and powder! 😆 — This is a comment on: https://yakihonne.com/flash-news/nevent1qqs2thfhkry7mpnn92wlykuxjm5dkcje62e06nnjzv6mtemns4xx28qzyzcjmmhzx859hmqe70jw8lh93y75fxuvu9v762kuanmqyc40efk4qqcyqqqqqqgq8kz8r
Btc for the bright & likely future
Silver for dystopia 😅
Just in case…
💯 it's cheap & pretty, so it makes it easy... just in case
yeah, i really like silver metal, it's the one metal that you can't be poisoned by, it can make your skin turn black tho
Yeah. Not a fan of jewelry. Cool stamping or pouring is what woos my insensibilities... then justified by utility 😅
well, yeah, the way that the silver stays nice when you keep it inside the plastic containers is also a good part of that
as jewellry, most of it is 9 carat which is usually mostly copper and zinc and idk what else, and it's too soft and goes black and stains the skin anyway
it really is more of an industrial metal than a precious metal, especially now its uses for antibacterial treatments and other oxidative catalysis is so valuable
The PMs you stack will just prove to be a huge opportunity cost vs stacking Sats. It’s good to have a little physical gold imo but beyond a small SHTF stack it’s just pissing in the wind.
One thing that’s completely turned me off to PMs is the spread when buying and selling. The brokers will sap all (minimal) profit on both ends of the transaction. PMs just don’t work as a way to protect wealth vs inflation anymore.
Agreed
Really glad you’re on Nostr Dr. Berry and to learn you’re a Bitcoin enthusiast. Been a huge fan for years and have the utmost respect for you ser. You’re a beacon of sanity in an insane world.
If your stacking PM for SHTF, there is no "spread". That's for traders.
There is a premium above spread on PMs when you buy.
And when SHTF, how is that a factor?
Troy I advocated for a SHTF stack for that reason 😂 But paying a large premium over spot for metals that will likely take years to appreciate to the break even with the spot + premium is a stupid and wasteful strategy, especially when a SHTF situation is very unlikely.
Nope, that is called diversity in your investments and I do the same
My wife said you should sell some for something real in 2015. Buy 5 oz. silver coin for ~1.95 btc. It's still a nice shiny coin!
well gold will never crash
but good luck taking it on a plane with you after a confiscation order
Last I checked there were other means of transport.
And much better for transporting contraband.
I agree that is good fiscal health & safety. Good source of deep knowledge is PeakProsperity site run by Dr Chris Martenson. Being responsible for my own health, wealth, and safety is the way.
Yep, love Peak Prosperity, just recorded with Chris a week ago.
No.
Some will.
Some don't understand that they are going to need lead to protect BTC.
consider adding some alloys, i.e. brass.....
That's what holds the Pb in place...
No but you will likely be mad at yourself in 5 years when you bought a shiny rock at the opportunity cost of acquiring perfect money
Not me!
metal disks and cartridges! very sensible
don't forget water purification and radios
don't care as long as you don't buy into shit coin / fed coin
Copper jacketed lead is a precious metal too!
To each his own. Personally, I'll stick to the hardest asset that's ever existed - Bitcoin!
As long as you fully realize the opportunity cost with the gold/silver.
I would drop the lead. And stack #platinum
You want to own the hardest money.
If you are in a LCS. Just do a visual of the gold/silver ratio. Then, ask if you have any platinum.
(he means bullets)
Cartridges are cheap, good for barter if it comes to that, and definitely qualify as a "you'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it" item
lol. Understood. Didn’t get it the first time I read it.
How do you self custody lead?
Not mad but maybe a little disappointed you'd think that they're a better store of value.
I can understand holding some small gold & silver coins as an emergency MoE for trading.
Bitcoin maxis became maxis because they've experienced first hand what holding a weaker SoV is like.
FAFO 🤙
Learn about Monero, you will not regret it.
I ran a computer all weekend and managed to mine 4¢ of Monero. Hmmm
So you say it's possible.
Absolutely not. They will under perform, but not all goals are for max gains. Do you homie.
Lead is necessary. .223 rounds are the ultimate barter items.
Handy against freedom takers too.
Bullets have been know to be the fungible currency of choice in Ukraine war zones.
According to some pithy something I read sonewhere: 45 rounds could be traded strait across for a jigger of whiskey in the old west, being the namesake for a "shot" or whiskey.
I should allow that I have not fact-checked that and it sounds like some shit aomeone would make ip on a Facebook post.
But If it is true that makes bullets in general pretty handy in turbulent times.
I’m more mad that you thought we wouldn’t know what the elements’ symbols were.
My grandkids are getting some of mine as they lose their baby teeth. Some fun Old TSP coins and other rounds in there.
Not mad but I would expect those to underperform vs Bitcoin HODLing.
That can be OK so long as you go into it with open eyes. What is financially optimal is not necessarily best for your overall balance of self sovereignty.
If anyone would be 'mad' about stacking metals, they probably are only in Bitcoin for the fiat price to go up, instead of seeing the bigger picture anyway.
Not everything is about getting 'rich' in fiat terms, it's about security and freedom.
Why plumbum?
At key times a plumbum deficiency can be very bad for your health
no
You might find it liberating to switch to a different mindset - one in which you don’t give a fuck about us being mad at you or not 😉
See how it goes! I have been stacking Advil.
Curious why lead?
Anyone who tells you not to diversify is probably trying to scam you
I have a friend that stacks Ag, Real Estate, Mutual Funds and Bitcoin.
They've been mining (slowly) and hodling since 2009. I think Bitcoin has paid off the best for them, as long as it doen't crash.
Stack all of the B's. Beans, bandaids, bullets, bullion, Bitcoin, bacon, bourbon, beef...
rare Lego sets will have more utility that rocks in a basement. I'm just stacking sats. Those metals will be there if/when we need them. Tick-Tock, next block ;)
