I am a Silver Stacker because...I am and will be!
Stacking silver has been ingrained in me by my father since I was just a little tyke. When I was a child, he gave me a silver dollar dated 1956, the year of my birth. I have cherished it since I was ten years old. It was that simple gift from my father that spurred my interest in silver so many years ago. AND as an adult, opened my eyes to the need of having a way of surviving a cataclysm. Stacking silver is my...just in case...plan.
I have always checked my pocket change for silver coins and my dollar bills for silver certificates.
Fast forward to my adulthood.
Over the past fifty years, I have found countless silver coins and a few silver certificate dollars. I have also bought coin collections from people I know. Not because I wanted to be a collector, but because of the material value should an economic catastrophe take place. I live in the desert southwest and bartering has become a way to "pay" someone with things that I possess for things they have that I need. Like chickens. I have a bunch of chickens. I live in a strawbale house not far from the US-Mexican border. I am always in need of something. I traded ten chickens for my front door to finish off my home.
I joined Steemit to earn "coins" from my writing, poetry, and blog. I hold a small amount of Bitcoin as well. Sometimes I transfer SBD to Bitcoin and Bitcoin to fiat currency just to buy silver. Sometimes I buy gold as well, but SILVER is the way to go because of its fractional value in a SHTF situation.
But it's not just silver coins in my reserve. I have many different forms of silver in the form of cutlery, jewelry, bouillon, serving sets, well you get the point.
When the SHTF, my junk silver coins will be a way to "barter/pay" for the things I need to survive, whether it be food, fuel, ammo, and the list goes on.
I do not disclose how much I have on hand, nor do I show it to my friends. It is mine. My silver is there for my survival. Without it, I would not be able to survive in a SHTF situation. Simply put, I am a silver stacker because...I am and will be!

Greetings @Lymmerik. It is nice to meet you. Thank You for such a complete reply.
The SHTF scenario is possible and preparation is a necessity.
I'm amazed that you are already in a barter environment, and that silver is recognized for its value. (Chickens too, I suppose.)
Your response displays your writing skills, and I will be checking out your posts going forward.
