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!

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.

A trace amount of gold is okay, about 200 micrograms

Nope, that is called diversity in your investments and I do the same

you can do whatever you want, but bitcoin is way better than all of those imo

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

My handle is literally "Silver Angel" because I like the shiny. 😂

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.

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.

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 ;)
