<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 8119634, member: 24754&quot;]I&#039;ve had the itch to stack bullion a few times, but it&#039;s never really taken hold. I&#039;m always collecting something, and come to the realization that obtaining more of whatever I&#039;m collecting makes me happier than a pile of silver/gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>This isn&#039;t true of everyone of course, but one of the consistent motivations of stackers is that they are hedging against the economy collapsing and/or some kind of apocalypse. There is a small window of severity along this spectrum where a person could really benefit from having stacked bullion (bartering in a somewhat functioning economy, buying refugee status elsewhere, etc). However, if the severity goes past that threshold, then having stacked bullion will have done you no good, because the real winners will be those that had the foresight to stack ammunition instead. If you have a bunch of people with silver and one person with ammunition in a world of anarchy, then the person with the ammunition also has all of the silver <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Long story short, I do not feel the need to hedge against these types of things because I know that the luxuries, conveniences, and extreme civility of the modern world have made me too soft to compete under those circumstances. So, if things go too far awry, I&#039;ll probably be checking out anyway!</p><p><br /></p><p>Either that, or I may learn that I&#039;ve had a hyper-brutal Mad Max persona deep inside all along. In that case, I&#039;ll be starting up a motorcycle gang and coming for your silver! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie58" alt=":jimlad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
