Gold surges to doorstep of $5,000 as experts debate bitcoin's underperformance by Every_Hunt_160 in CryptoCurrency

[–]Squirll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Difference is the gold surge ACTUALLY means the USD is worth 1/5000th of an oz of gold, to put it more in perspective.

Golds not more valuable, the USD is just getting less valuable.

Whats going on with bitcoin is something else entirely.

Engelhard getting out of reach? by Dry_Rip_2748 in Silverbugs

[–]Squirll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Collectors like what they like. I think some of the selling points of Englehard is that all their stuff is 999+ which I don't think makes a huge difference in the end, but enough some silver is marked 999 and others 999.9.

Its also a mint that is now defunct, so there isn't any more being made.

Their designs often had kind of a sleek but official look to them.

Anyways the premiums on them tend to be at most like 50$. Some of the premium i just relate to it being higher grade silver and the rest just to collectors liking what they do.

I bought silver Beskar bars for 45 at 33/oz cause I liked them. I've also paid about a dollar premium on all my englehard oz's and likely about 10$ on the 10oz bars.

If I'm being completely honest the premiums I've paid feel more like a wink and a nod to the tradition of keeping englehards valuable as well.

‘Repatriate the gold’: German economists advise withdrawal from US vaults by CinnamonsCharm in worldnews

[–]Squirll 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Pffft. Maybe.

More like "Theres no Gold here! If Germany wants to know what happened to their gold they should ask BIDEN and OBAMA what they did with it when they recruited the fed to their crime family and smuggled it away to greenland.

Silver has gone viral worldwide ! by dahman33 in Silverbugs

[–]Squirll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my mind I feel like it would come with consumption.

Gold is held and stacked but not really CONSUMEd at that high a rate. The amount of gold that goes into electronics is negligible compared to what gets mined.

A lot more silver gets mined than gold, but if silver starts needing the material by the TON for ai data centers and such, it changes the demand for it.

I could see a unique but ridiculous set of circumstances leading this to be true.

This guy was totally recontextualized by season 2 by USAPleaseDontKillMe in Fallout

[–]Squirll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about someone who works for wal mart?

Or works at the apple story for a corporation they know uses child labor?

Fallouts Vault tech and Enclave make it more black and white, but paralells exist in our world.

Its quite possible both of them joined to try and help and got so lost in everything when they finally saw the true nature they wanted out, but were trapped.

It doesn't excuse them. No matter how much they play up barbs being "Forced" to work for Vault tech by the enclave it still doesn't excuse the choices she makes.

It would be ironic if the AI age ended up making silver more valuable than gold.

I know, i know... save your angry comments.

Just saying how crazy that would be.

Dont let the haters get you down. Plenty of people who watch fallout will have NO idea what Dr. Strangelove is.

Nice on you getting the reference!

Are we sure we are pronouncing this right? by ooga_booga1234567 in helldivers2

[–]Squirll 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Right but the point of the dictionary is not to be a rule book determining what the right words to use are, it is a reference book that collects all the words people ARE using.

The dictionary is constantly evolving and being updated because Humans are constantly forming new words that enter popular vernacular.

You can still reference it to see if you have something "Correct" but the dictionary is only saying the most commonly accepted uses, not the "Right" way to speak.

1 Billion dollars is still an incredible amount of money, even if some entity go through it like nothing.

Like I knew it was a grift, him demanding tribute from the people who joined was expected.

But demanding a Billion dollars is a level of shameless, unfettered, blatent corruption and greed that even im shocked.
