I have come here to promote the idea of individuals having a good supply of tradable commodities in reserve in case of a wide spread disaster.
In addition to bitcoins I think it is a good idea for people to collect silver as well. In that spirit I will be promoting silver through a series of giveaways and sales.

Let's not forget Gold and Platinum.
Silver historically has the wildest swings. Which creates great arbitrage opportunities in differential to Gold.
But, unless you know what you're doing those swings can kill you.
Tip: Check the charts before you buy, run the numbers and buy the most undervalued precious metal.
P.S. It would sure be cool if someone creates a Bitcoin-based commodities exchange, allowing users to take up positions in undervalued commodities, not just the precious metals.

Only problem with silver is it's hard to store and transport monster boxes. A small tube of 10 gold coins = a 500 coin silver monster box.

I agree gold is important for those that can afford it. I like that someone with a moderate income can afford a little silver every paycheck.

The prices there seem to be higher than normal right now. I find flea markets are a great place to score. |

How do you define a "wide spread disaster"? |

How do you define a "wide spread disaster"? Specifically the failure of the powers that be to provide us with a stable and usable currency. Fiat money is going the way of toilet paper. |

How is silver going to be helpful in that scenario? I assume you are talking about a serious currency meltdown such that cross border payments become difficult/impossible. |

I guess it has been doing that forever and yet you can still buy toilet paper with it.
What I love are all the sites touting silver as a great investment and then saying buy OUR silver.

Silver is manipulated. Palladium is the stuff you want.

The same way it helped people in Zimbabwe, Germany and Argentina when their currencies value shot to zero, it was something that people could use as trade. |

Collect silver after you have enough - Food
- Water processing capability and supply
- Weapons and Ammo
- Medical Supplies
Because these things will not be available if we get to a state where Silver is required. I can tell you I would not sell my items for all the silver in the world if I became dependent on the. A Fifth of Jack Daniels will go a lot further than an ounce or two of silver and it costs about the same. |

See you at $32,000 silver?  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=156993.msg1668244#msg1668244Do you remember that guy?  Bitcoin is becoming the same. We await our 2008 crash after hitting maybe $1000 or whatever the ponzi gods have decided. a wide spread disaster is defined as when there is no supply of quality toilet paper!
I gave up on that several years ago in a third-world Asian country, so I learned how to wipe with the hand and water and then wash the hand. I rather prefer it now. Doesn't leave that residue on the arse that starts itching when (as a programmer) you don't take showers for a month. |
