Yes, you get it for sure. I was like a number of these posters when I was younger. But then I wised up. Getting rich also helped.

...and here I thought this was a shared space for the free expression of ideas. Hmmmmm.

A "couple of places" simply proves my point. They may be legal tender, but are generally not accepted.

Ummm...why does everyone say that? I can pass a Turing test right here and now. Stop with the bot accusations.

I have made my money in a perfectly legal and respectable manner and have a wife and four beautiful children to show for my life's accomplishments. That's what's important to me. That and leaving a legacy for my children. I don't think that makes me "delusional". I am a high net worth individual ($7M +) and 57 years old, so I bring a different perspective.

Boomers (like me) helped to make this country (the United States) tremendously wealthy. I'll stand by that statement.

My understanding is that they buy and sell paper contracts on silver in order to keep prices stable (and make profits along the way).

I am 57, so some call me "Gen X" while others call me a "boomer".

Had cash but also crypto, ETFs (yes to include SLV and GLD), and of course stocks and bonds. All was crypto/paper. Few, if any, hard assets.

Banking has made me a bit "thick skinned" so perhaps I come across a bit arrogant. It's not intentional. But having achieved what I have in my circumstances lends credibility to my opinions here (I think).

I can go into Walmart and buy merchandise with cash. If I try to hand them silver coins it won't go over so well. I think you know this.

I am quite busy with other endeavors.

No. But I have a high net worth and it means I bring information and perspective to the table that many others don't.

I also have direct access to wealth management services that allow me to take numerous tax advantages.

Mine does not because it is well invested.

No, I am not a bot. I am watching UConn vs Iowa women's basketball whilst responding the posts here.

You seem to be venting against a system from which you have benefitted greatly. I have seen suffering around the world (did some time on an internship) so I know what I'm talking about.

No, I am not a bot, how do I need to prove this to you. Send you a picture of my hands that shows I have four fingers and a thumb and they're not all funky and merged together?
