I just can't imagine trading a silver coin with my neighbors if shtf. I can imagine trading weapons and ammo though.
So my concern is everyone buys silver as someone else buys the guns. A hedge fund with billions of dollars of weapons is a massacre, a bunch of individuals with weapons is a revolution.
There was some guy on 4chan or something who survived the war in the Balkans. IDK look it up. Anyways, valuable items were like booze (also for antiseptic), lighters, food, guns & ammo (ofc)
Buy land and big ticket items with silver/gold for day to day trading its barter. I stack ammo too it's always best to have a diverse portfolio.
Ammo up 400%
I think that depends on how fucked things are when "shtf", could just be that you lose your job or need some extra cash. It might not be total anarchy.
I know. I have a shit-ton of bird shot and .22 just for barter. Mama didn’t raise no dummy. Retard? Yes, absolutely. Dummy? No.
Silver coins would serve as an intermediary for when you don't have what your neighbor needs, but your neighbor has what you need. You'd pay him in silver coins, and he would then pay someone else for what he needs using those. This is basically the concept of money - the difference is that in this case it's real tangible money and not paper crap created out of thin air.
