Arm yourselves with knowledge!

Any update on the Crusader? I've tempted to ask for a refund.

>Silver has no value, no liquidity, and will never be a currency.

it already has.
What will he say next, everything is a social construct?

I hope you're right, I will buy more.

You're telling me that a lawyer could only $6500/year in Rome based on current silver prices?

If we still had a 15:1 GSR today, then that lawyer would be making $33,000/year, which is more reasonable.

>but there is more silver and gold today, therefore it's less scarce, and that's why prices should be so low
There are also more people. Humans are mine more PMs and make more babies at relatively the same rate.


The big point is every central bank in the world is stockpiling it. The reason is they know history, and they know the monetary system transforms every few decades. The one constant is that all fiat currencies always become worthless in history, since they have no more inherent value than a rat's ass.

I don't, I measure my silver in silver. That or I larp as a Roman noble and measure it in villas and estates in my head.

Friends,

I'm off of work today, the weather is shitty, and I'm bored. I wanna create more OC to help with the cause. Something I've wanted to do for a while is make another version of that image (that I don't have saved) depicting how the cost of a Corvette in the 50's and a modern Corvette are the same in silver - only I want to do it with some good(s) or service(s) from ancient Rome vs. today. Picrel is some of my previous work, not the most efficient OC but it's informative and I'm proud of it

Problem is that most data on the price of goods in Rome points back towards Diocletian's Edicts, which were issued during well into the Empire's decline and a period of inflation, and were basically ignored anyway. I want to make comparisons to prices during the late Republic / early Empire (as close as possible to the life of Caesar). I'm particularly interested in the prices of goods that more or less translate directly to modern times. For example I like the one about the cost of whores, but that was a far more common """"job""""" back then when women weren't a part of the work force compared to now so I don't think a direct comparison works perfectly. I'd like data on straightforward things like houses / apartments, food, clothing, land, etc.

But I need decent sources to make the whole thing solid. I'm gonna do my research too but if any of you have good sources point em my way. Thanks friends

I like to produce and save OC like pic related that examines the values of metal in ye olden days, because I think it's incredibly near-sighted to assume that the fates of those societies couldn't befall us. It's important to remember that our current clown financial system has only existed for the last 80-100 years (between the birth of the US Federal Reserve and WWII / globalisation) and for most of history before that, things tended to make more direct sense.

Uh oh, retard alert
I stack gold, silver, copper, and I even hoard nickels and pour my own pewter bars. None of these things are mutually exclusive and they are all fun.
