I just went Gold/Silver Tard. Here's why:

Gold/Silver is worthless in a financial crisis. No one wants your worthless metal when they are starving.

Well, after WWII Gold didn't lose its value.
Paper money was used as fuel for fire.

And, if the shit is really hitting the fan, what difference does it make?
If all loses its value, it doesn't matter if I lose cash money or gold money.
So, basically I can't lose. Also, I'm a prepper... i won't starve.

I haven't yet. but I will be soon.. Life is a gamble any way you look at it. Historically speaking, metals are a sound investment. I wouldn't bet anything on stocks, and I wouldn't trust a paper certificate either..

exactly

You have been infected Herr OP with what is medically termed goldensilveritis of which there is no known cure.

However it can be controlled further this condition is also known as gold bug or silver bug of which I too am afflicted.

Your modest condition will advance with time and you will have a large stack.

Good luck to you Herr OP...

That would be true...I am a proud stacker. I like the feel, I like the sound, yeah baby!

good for you ... and for those who look down on gold i 'd like to see them name a event in past history which a country went to invade another country to rob/steal their fiat money.... even to come up with a future scenario which a country would invade another to plunder that country fiat money...

Try telling this to those which are starving.
Watch this as it may soon be here:

Keep a stacking

Recently started converting paper to metals myself. Makes ya feel good and a little more secure knowing the world will accept your currency.

Here's a tip for European silver/gold tards;

Buy from this outfit;

NO VAT!!!



I bought all my silver one ouncers from them, and saved the evil 20% Value Added Tax.

The Channel Islands don't do VAT!

thats funny
i usually just spend on whatever. going shopping without needing stuff. buying cloths. stuff. ordering dinner

now i just decided that since saving doesnt work for me i am going to start buying silver coins at the beginning of each month

the more i save up the bigger the stuff gets that i eventually buy with it. so if i dont spend on cloths and little stuff and save for a while ill just spend it on something big i dont need like a tv, new playstion, new fridge whatever and im hoping that this way i will just think twice before buying something because i hope i wouldnt like to trade it back in.

its just a good extra to have something worth your money at home without being able to spend it like money. i know i could save money in the bank or even at home but thats just too easy to spend

cool thanx

why is the metador silver cheaper then the other silver on there tho? (im new to this)

i went metal tard last year. just bought some more last weekend. i did it mostly as a hedge against inflation. but in the back of my mind, i worry about a dolalr collapse.

congrats on making the move.

I don't know. I only bought the Guernsey Double-Eight silver ouncers.

nice one. wanted some silver but the VAT put me off.

silver is hours away from heading to $14

From your lips to God's ears.

If it ever went that low again, I would buy LOTS.

Gold can be used in canning to keep certain foods indefinitely.

Silver has potent anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties.

These metals have real uses, but may not be as good as vice items for bartering.

It all may dip again but inevitably as sure as the USD & Euro are in trouble gold & silver will shine.

When say the dollar is replaced at some point it will be best to have all assets in gold & silver. Some real estate. There are always buyers for the PM.

Paper assets will be worthless. Cant make the house or tax pmnts with worthless paper.

completely false... when my native country collapsed after the US pulled out its support to fight against communism.... fiat money became useless , could not even use it to wipe our ass ( paper cut ) farmers with extra food would gladly barter their food for GOLD not silver , BUT GOLD and that was how most people survived until the communist regime was set but later on began to kill us ( killing fields ) ; people with bags and bags of fiat money ended up starving or jumping off the bridges back then... so don't kid yourself with your pea brain size mind.
