This hypothetical argument isn't worth the time.

We are stuck at a difference of opinion. You think you can hide and sustain yourself. I think there are too many people on the planet for anyone to hold on to any traditional property or home ideology in an end all cataclysmic event.

I'm fine to end on a disagreement in a hypothetical situation. I don't have the time to measure epeens on jsp. Good day chief.

So which is it? Is almost everyone going to die or will there be billions of people after 1 acre of land?

ive said several times its a better chance than city living, and a better survival plan than hoarding gold. i said several times "its about all you can do".

thor is correct, you're not listening.

also, there's this basic contradiction:



you only want to end it because you aren't making any sense nor listening. good day indeed, come back whenever.

When did I suggest anyone hoard gold?

I don't necessarily want it to end but have lost interest. We are at a point where nobody will sway the other. I don't think it matters much where you try and settle, your days are numbered. You guys think you can hide in a corner and rest easy.

Because this is not a real scenario, it's all opinion. I've said mine, we're all getting repetitious now and it's boring.

how many times do i have to say "its the best you can do" before you get it tho?

i never said anyone could rest easy, you said i said that, then i told you about 5 times that's NOT what im saying at all. here u are continuing with the bullshit lol.

the repetitious thing is your inability to read.

In case anybody thinks metals have inherent value let me tell you a fun fact.

Aluminium used to be way more valuable than gold or silver. Then a way to efficiently refine it was invented and now it's basically worthless. For a while the person who invented the method was the richest person on earth.

There is no inherent value in metals, all it takes is the discovery of a revolutionary refining process or a large enough supply to be found and it becomes effectively worthless

Quote (Grippster @ Oct 20 2019 03:47pm)

Aluminum still has value. It isn't like air.

If a new refining process brought down the price of gold to a penny an ounce, it would still be an element on the periodic table with special traits that cannot be mimicked by anything else. How people value gold though is subjective.

If we're talking about what's best I'll contest that too because realistically in any type of end all calamity the best thing would be a swift early death. Even if you managed to survive seeing what happens to everyone would without a doubt mess the psychie up hard.

Recently instead of saving money I have been investing it into silver. The reason I’ve been investing 10% of my income into precious metals rather than saving it in the bank is because of inflation. Pre 1964 all us dimes and quarters were minted onto a 90% silver planchette, meaning not only did they have their face value, but they held intrinsic value as their precious metals content equaled it’s face value (a quarter contained 25 cents worth of silver, a dime contained 10 cents worth of silver etc) at that time 25 cents could buy you a gallon of gas, fast forward to today and our money (us fed money) has lost 98% of its purchasing power, meaning a gallon of gas today would cost you around $2.50, however till this day a pre 1964 quarter can buy you a gallon of gas not because of its face value of 25 cents but because of the intrinsic value of the 90% silver content. Therefore I’ve been investing 10% of my income into precious metals because I do not know how I am going to invest it for capital gain at the moment and the longer I wait the more my money loses value if I’m saving via paper currency due to inflation. Now I choose silver of all the precious metals for two reasons, 1. It’s affordable 2. Unlike gold, silver is an industrial metal, specifically in renewable energy (all solar panels contain silver) which is were our world is heading to, so in my opinion, silver will be used at such a high rate that it in time will no longer be affordable or available. What are your guys thoughts am I crazy for not having faith in Uncle Sam? Do you think small junk silver is the better investment for liquidity purposes or kg’s for the lower premiums?

If you're thinking metals, copper is a much better investment imo. Demand for copper will only grow as regions like Africa come online. It's one of the best electrical conductors and we are quickly moving towards everything electrical. Everything from smart cars to smart homes needs copper.
