Interesting! Ok. Well I don't hold silver as an "investment" but to be able to buy things if the dollar collapsed to zero value.
Historically, 1/10 of an ounce of silver per day allowed a Roman soldier, around when Jesus walked the earth, to afford a family and their needs. And that's more or less held true through the years since then...hence why Article 1, Section 10 states USA can only coin gold and silver as tender of payment of debts.
You cannot put a fiat currency "value" on God's money, because metal is nearly priceless in that manner - it's worth is more than whatever fake paper says it is.
The fact that an hour of labor 20-25$/hr in present day can buy you TEN days of labor when our ancestors walked the earth is absolutely insane.
I always view it as that I'm converting my wealth, generated from my own two hands, into physical, tangible, money for which we have no present day valuation...because of the lies and suppression of the Cabal to move humanity away from financial freedom.
Hmmm, interesting viewpoint. I had not thought about silver in that way.
I've always held to the idea that I'll be able to buy land (20ish acres?) and a family home for a 100oz bar, maybe a bit less, which seems within reason.
Transport yourself back 100 years and look at the cost of goods then. $20 gold double eagle can buy you a nice tailored suit, worth roughly $2k per gold troy ounce today. The value of metal takes on a different meaning when you view it through a historical lens!
Keep stacking, fren. Don't just "invest" into metal, but convert your wealth/labor into it :)
Heh! I instinctively think you're right, although the scenario I envisage is a place where a "nice tailored suit" would be worthless. I'm thinking something between The Great Depression and Mad Max. Anything with only extrinsic value (artwork, Taylor Swift CDs, high-end sport cars, etc.) will hold zero value. Things with intrinsic value (gold, silver, skills that one can barter, firearms) will not only hold value, they will increase in value.
But I do take your point about the relative buying power over time. I actually remember a time when the US dollar was worth a dollar. I guess that makes me officially old.
