perhaps http://coinabul.com/ or http://www.amagimetals.com/

I don't work for and have not personally used either of those sites.

Thank you for linking us!

We have now managed to bring down the price of the 1 ounce silver John Galt rounds to as low as $1.99 over spot, which is less than American Silver Eagles!

We have now added a new selection of 2013 products, including 2013 Gold American Buffalo and 2013 Gold American Eagle.

The BTC price is now shown on the checkout page when you checkout with BTC. We are going to add the ability to switch between USD and BTC prices on all the product pages soon! Thank you to the BTC community for all of your business thus far.

Yep, that'll be awesome! Throwing some products around the auction subforum would be a good way to promote your products.
It's a pity that your collection does not include other conventional products like Maples and Pamp bars - I'm in the market for some too.  Wink

We now have Maples and Pamp Suisse bars on our website!

Just wanted to pop in & say I've bought a small amount from Amagi before & was very satisfied with the whole experience.

Prices are a bit better than Coinabul anyway (last I looked).

Any guesses why the drop?  I don't really follow PM markets, but I'm actually kinda surprised about this.

It's not really that surprising: http://www.amagimetals.com/blog/2012/12/19/heavy-profit-taking-in-gold-has-investors-licking-their-wounds/

They used gold coins in atlas shrugged....

Anti-thetical to bitcoin and a terribly boring read....

***SPOILER***

Did not enjoy the 60 page diatribe at the end of the book...

Yes, they did use precious metals in Atlas Shrugged. I think opinions on books should be posted in the "Off-topic" section.

So we have a question for the community, should we sell some of our silver/gold $products on the forums here, rather than just on our website?
Yep, that'll be awesome! Throwing some products around the auction subforum would be a good way to promote your products.
It's a pity that your collection does not include other conventional products like Maples and Pamp bars - I'm in the market for some too.  Wink

We are expanding our products to include such things as gold and silver Maple Leaves, so be sure to check back frequently!
492  Economy / Economics / Re: What's a proper measure of economic growth? on: December 19, 2012, 07:38:56 PM
Increased consumption is a consequence of economic growth, not the cause of economic growth.

Capitalism is called capitalism because economic growth occurs from an accumulation of capital. To find economic growth you should look at capital accumulation (investment and savings), rather than GDP which includes government and private consumption.

You guys do know it's illegal to melt these coins, right?

Many drugs are illegal too. People still do drugs.

And how would people/business take responsibility for their actions?   It is taught in business school to externalize as much as you can, they are call externalities.  What if their decisions have a direct affect on me in a negative way?  What should happen then?  How would it be administered?   And by whom?

Externalities exist because of poor property rights. If we had better property rights, by allowing the free market protect property rights rather than the government, there wouldn't be externalities.

In text-book this may be written.  The world is not that simplistic.  People and companies do many ranges of actions for many reasons that sometime fit in your mold and many times do not.   I actually find more money can many times be quite bad for a company, they lose their culture, character, what they stood for in the market place.  History is litter with examples.  Perfect example in modern times, Google and Apple.   Example from history, British East Indian Company, Llyods of London, Standard Oil, etc..

You are mingling the current system with what may be under anarcho-capitalism. I don't think companies would be as big as they are today under anarcho-capitalism because they cannot rent seek (spend resources to lobby government for the purpose of increasing barriers to entry for competition).

The basic premise of anarcho-capitalism is that individuals accept consequences of their actions, whether they are considered positive or negative. It's not a utopia because "bad" things (rape, murder, crime, etc.) can and will happen.

They do.  But I also add that this did not happen is a bubble or vacuum.  They took advantage of that stable environment that provided them the opportunity to profit.  From that profit, the company is responsible to pay a just portion is taxes that go to maintain that environment and infrastructure. 

So what's the expected response when the government start getting in the way of the functioning of the infrastructure. Just as an example - California's newest round of emissions laws have forced truckers to purchase brand new rigs that actually get about 10% less gas mileage when hauling a load. They're also paying a higher licensing fee to pay for the regulation on the new engine components which are being inspected at weigh stations.



Cite your source.   

Well what people should be doing on any issue that they have a problem with, is come up with a better solution and lobby the hell out of it so that a dialogue and start and work on a compromise if your new solution is superior than the law you think is inferior. 

It's legislation, not law. Solution: let people/businesses make their own personal decisions and take responsibility for their actions whether they are "good" or "bad."

Yes is does, the nation you live in matters.  If you don't care about it at all then your a poor example of its citizenry.   I am American and I care about the general welfare of other Americans.   I also disagree with our current policies and I do what I can not to give me consent to it.  But I am still American and care about its people.   I also care about other nations and hope they feel the same way about their nation as well.  Under those terms I hope we can continually finds ways to peacefully works together and trade.

I guess we just have different values. I care about the human race no matter where they come from, not just some group of people living in some imaginary boundaries. Of course I care about the general welfare of my neighbor, someone I know, more than someone in Asia that I do not know. I can't really say that I care about the general welfare of someone I don't know living in California more so than someone I don't know living in the EU. They are both human.

From an economic perspective the poorest people in America are richer than the middle class/richest people in many other countries. So, if you think time/money will help educate/clothe/feed people in poorer countries, then every $1/minute you spend helping the poor in other countries will give those people a lot more value than it would if you spent the money/time on poor people in the USA. So in effect you are helping the human race more.

It always comes down to this: incentives matter.

Yes. So many people forget this. It's the most basic law of economics, but all too often, it's simply ignored.

He is correct on this.   We should incentivize companies to pay a fair tax and create domestic jobs for the nation they are headquartered in.  They have gain a significant advantage being able to pool capital as a corporation.  With this advantage, they should contribute to the general welfare of that country.  If not then it is acting like a parasite.   There is no free lunch.

This doesn't make any sense. People are people no matter what "country" they're living in. Who cares if a company contributes to the "general welfare" of people in another country, by investing or selling products there. Your suggestion just promotes nationalism.
