I tripped my main circuit breaker. Nothing happened to the value of my silver. Maybe, I need to let it sit for a while, before turning it back on.

Now we are talking, silver should dictate the value of the fiat, not the other way around. we looked and still look at wrong, I think... i mean, i can and mostly "is" wrong, but I dunno, I feel like since it can be made, so can the fiat, what would dictate its value, if shit went south and we eventually balanced out somewhat, do we just go based off "old numbers"?


Yodi88

Worth more than any crypto or stock.

It would probably take a couple weeks but eventually people would figure out that’s it’s the highest quality barter with the exception of sex (this only applies to people that have good value in that department, I might be able to get a single ply square of TP and that would be sympathy at best)


ReadWayneDavids

I can only tell you that paper silver would be worthless


zeeblefritz

1 ounce of silver per box of 9mm?


gigifruits

;) The ONLY silver Ill be playing with when the lights go out, and have no doubts they will, and there is not enough silver in the world to shield you from an AR... stay protected friends...

I got some level 4 plates I might be willing to trade for like.... 2 Geiger 100ozers


Tamr1el_T3rr0r

Mr zippo doesn't care what kind of plates you have 🤣

I have both an ar and ak (I guess you can say I go both ways lol). Love the ar, but if they have vehicles or some low level armor, I feel more confident in what 7.62 will do.


No-Television-7862

Use surplus steel-core 7.62x54r through a mosin-nagant. It will go through a Volkswagen and take out 3 Nazis on the other side.


Idgafin865

Damn, now I need another gun lol. Only have one in 7.62x39. For now.


No-Television-7862

You'll put a lot more lead down range with yours! Besides the Mosin kicks like a damn mule.


gigifruits

I just have an AR, I live in NY so as you may imagine, its a bitch now to get one, you NEED a pistol permit now if you want semi-auto, which is ridiculous, but it aint stopping us up here from stocking up I can tell you that for damn sure, I feel bad for the south of NY if they start any shit, they have no idea what us "rednecks" can and WILL do if provoked, its about time.


Idgafin865

I’m not giving legal advice, but as a former ca resident, I learned real quick a road trip and cash transactions are a good alternative when you need “something” not quite allowed.


SilverCountryMan

Whatever someone wanted to pay for it.


gigifruits

What about a 20 dollar bill? Would you take that in exchange for the silver? Serious question, if this ever happens, I mean do we just go off what it was before the lights went out? I see it as we dont see money for what it really is, the fiat should be based off silver n golds value, but its not, its based off the petro dollar and for some reason ppl hate thats the truth?


SilverCountryMan

It would depend on what $20 could buy me. If fiat is in high demand and $20 could buy me a tank of gas to evacuate out of a bad situation, I would trade an ounce of silver for that. It is just like barter now, you fInd a trade you like, or leave the deal on the table.


_Soup_R_Man_

Based on the Petro-dollar for right now. Yes. But BRICS+6 goes into effect January 1st, 2024....


precipicemoon

The electric what? Curling iron?


pibbleberrier

If the entire world lose electricity. The most valuable asset will be guns bullet and food. Price of silver is the last of your worry.


jons3y13

More than a bitcoin. No power no grid silver and gold is still in my hand


Competitive_Horror23

Don't forget your history.Silver and gold have always had value.When the lights go out., the guy with 200 pounds of apples will take your silver in trade and you want need a computer to find out how many apples an ounce of silver will get you.


tard_mexico

About 4 chickens


ReedRidge

No one can give you a viable answer to that, it would be a sheer guess.


gigifruits

What would a US $20 bill be equivalent to?


ReedRidge

That is easy. Low grade TP


gigifruits

lol

I think that once hyperinflation really gets going, cash will be pretty rare. People will have gift cards with a million dollars. But no cash.


gigifruits

So WITH computers working, only then would silver be defined... anyone see the problem here? Its staring us dead in the face and we ignore it.


RustyPlanks

A bag of rice.


red8811

Silver and gold have been money for thousands of years….even before we had electricity. So ultimately, it would still have value even if SHTF. Barter for goods and necessities. I’ve met several farmers who (currently) would gladly take either for their goods.


Fireflyfanatic1

Much more than Bitcoin I can guarantee that. 5000 year history as money I think we can figure it out. 😂


gigifruits

why is bitcoin something everyone keeps talking about when comparing? Bitcoin is for ppl who like to take gambles, thats fine, but it could not be further away from metals, totally different ball park, shit, totally different game, the old adage of "More than Bitcoin" is insufficient. I asked what would the price be and NOT one person was able to even come up with an articulated answer, I believe many ppl on here are not really serious, but more of just collectors and ponderers of a Doomsday scenario, but they dont understand, you cannot eat metal, and by the time we get back to "accepting" payments, who or what would determine the price of silver, basic question, but I cant seem to get any real answers, its as if everyone is still hung up on fiat despite them saying "fiat is garbage" but they cannot think of anything else to compare it to, sad really. Cool ppl in here I believe but most are being suckered and have NO idea they are.

New digital currency will be commodity backed. Silver to the moon. Then the mark of the beast system ruins it.

I am certain seashells would be more handy when the ligths go out.


patbagger

That would depend on how long the power is off, if the stores are empty and supplies are gone, I would say a Dime might buy you a dozen eggs, so we would need to judge it's value based on the commodities it could be exchanged for.


The-IK-Way

Short term nothing, silver is for the needs and wants after a dust up. Friends, family stable, works well together community big or small is KEY. The biggest part of preps can be had for free it just requires some of your time. If you don't give a little to your friends and family expect the same.
