Sorry that this post isn't about the election today, but I believe the country will spiral downhill relatively fast starting tomorrow and I have an important question to ask.
My wife and I have a chunk of money. We plan splitting our savings into a cash emergency fund that will be half of our money which we will have on hand and turn the rest into silver 1 oz coins.
My father in law is doing the same thing but in a different way. He has cash and silver, but all his silver is American silver eagles which cost around 39 dollars each for 1 oz coins.
He thinks all of his gold and silver will be used for bartering and so he has to buy the most "trusted" and recognizable brand. I think that some silver should be in recognizable American coins but that this bartering period where gold and silver is used will be short and after that the white hats will introduce a new digital currency backed by precious metals. So it makes sense to put most of my money in 1 oz coins that are also made in America but cost 15 dollars less and are being sold by one of the biggest gold and silver sellers in America.
My theory is based on a lot of 8kun research about the new monetary system. So he thinks I should buy only 39 dollar silver coins, I think I should buy mostly 24 dollar silver coins, since they are the same quality, purity and they are also new.
What do you guys think is the best way to go about it?
Buy the most expensive silver coins for "brand recognition" or buy much cheaper silver that is the same quality so that we have more silver to convert into the white hats new digital currency?
I always go here for questions because I trust you guys. I believe this forum is the collective consciousness of the smartest people in the world.
We arent going to a shtf scenario. This will be cleaner than that if good guys are truly in control. I prepared for this in 2010. I thought this was happening then. Now I have 13 year old freeze dried food. Hopefully God was guiding me for this time. This time around I prepared financially instead of food and supplies. I was an atheist that voted obama. God shook me awake and woke my ass up in 2009/2010. I have food, ammo, silver., dwac. I hope I made good choices. I have to say, my financial choices now are not to just survive. I feel with the stress we burden every day knowing what we know, I feel we need compensation for it. I like to believe silver, gme, dwac is our lottery tickets. Because we endured and paid attention. I really hope so. I wanna quit working in my shitty corporation and start somethimg that can help my community.
Oh man, you are singing a pretty tune, one I hope to sing myself because I've done the same.
I'm in the UK so ammo is limited to shotguns (for clay shooting) and both my wife and I have Au tucked away, along with a goodly amount of Ag.
I have two generators, just fitted a wood burner, and have books on herbal remedies etc. as well as smithing skills should it come to that, but I too am hoping we hit the jackpot and can be mortgage free.
What I'd really like to do is set up a 'small jobs' market where people with basic DIY skills can register, and old folk who struggle to manage on their own can call upon the market for day to day jobs for free. Also, if they need bigger work done they can ask for someone to sort it out so they don't get ripped off.
Fingers crossed it turns out the way we hope, but I'm preparing for a struggle as well.
Let's hope and pray.
