on youtube there are many channels of hypemasters and pumpers. They don't seem to be interested that much in sensible silver, you see them buying all these silly designed rounds at premiums. it would be much smarter to quietly buy a bunch, let's just say a few thousand dollars worth or whatever their budget is in bigger bars, constitutional or rolls of generic rounds or maples, even eagles I guess. Nope...they are making videos every week showing new silly purchases the world is gonna end tomorrow and 10k worth of silver will make them rich. 100 oz bars, kilos and 1000 oz bars and constitutional have been available all along. silver joker for example.
They wouldn't get that many views if they only bought tubes of ASE or other generic silvers for every video! tbh I found Spegtacular, and International Stacker to be more informative than just looking at a bunch of silver!
Do they actually work in guns?the silver bullets?pretty expensive if you ask me but only if your a rich person that's the way they go.
In the last 2 years this is the only silver bullion that I have purchased and I paid more than spot but it was worth it.
Speg is a good guy. Used to hang out on his streams when he was a lot smaller. Otherwise I don't watch stacker channels anymore. Lost interest in stacking as I moved closer to numismatics.
I should've specified his older videos where he travels and buys at local coin stores in Saudi and other middle eastern countries.
If they worked in guns, they wouldn’t actually be an oz of silver. There would be gunpowder in it. not to say that actual silver bullets don’t exist though...
you are basing that on pre pandemic levels low price low premiums, once the pandemic is over or under control, there is no way to know where everything is going to land, here at my local store people are lining up for silver.
The places I buy around here are out, but there are some good deals on gold. Yeah, I agree that most of the stacking videos are pretty lame, but so what? Don't have to watch them and give them more views, besides most of us longtime stackers have already got our stacks, so now I can just sit back and enjoy the show.
I never knew where the silver bullet thing came from, but the wooden stake at first was not through the heart. The cure for vampires was to stake their body to the ground so they couldn't get up at night and wander around and find victims. Vampires could not "die", so the only solution was to peg their body down. They also cut off the head and buried it elsewhere so the body could not bite anything. Vlad Dracul's head was cut off and buried on an island in the middle of a lake. Edit: To not get too off track from the OP, I view most stuff on Youtube as attempted clickbait. They are trying to be sensational to get views, which can earn them money. I even see some bullion people wanting to be "sponsored" on Patreon, (website where you can give a person $X per money as a "patron"). Most people interested in coins would do much better just coming here and reading.
I definitely would not try to shoot one of those silver bullets, they are one piece with no pressed in head. It would be a dud, high-o-silver, oh crap!
