Time to get back on track with some awesome silver content!
I feel like I'm slowly turning into one of those guys that found cryptos and start slowly talking more and more about them. Don't worry my heart is still with Silver and I'm going to get back on track. So for the next week I'm going to commit to a daily silver blog and try to focus my curation on the awesome content at the #steemsilvergold tag.
We still have the voting ongoing for the 2018 Steem Silver Round, if there is a clear winner with one design having a vast majority of votes, this will likely be the final round, but if it's once again close we will have a final head to head round of voting. There will also be a short period when we refine the design and make any minor changes. We will also hopefully be able to start pre-orders and have a set timeline at that time.
I have still be buying a lot of silver and very excited about a few orders that are one there way. I recently got this order here from @pit-bullion, with more on the way. I am also expecting some great poured silver from @stackinag47 and @silvervessel, that I can't wait to be showing off.
Not only that @ejr also just shipped a few things that came to the our PO box at the border and some new store stock that I've been waiting for for my collection, so I really need to show them off here as well.
It's almost time to do another last few months review and update my spreadsheet and calculate just how much I've added since I last checked around September. Lucky my wife never reads here since it's always surprising even to me, just how much silver I am adding on a regular basis.
I also hope to offer a discussion regarding why to buy silver and maybe we'll convert a couple more stackers from some of my new followers!

I can’t wait either! I hope it’s there tomorrow! It was in s priority box!! Bring back the silver we so greatly crave👍🏼🍺🥓
Yeah it was a holiday here monday for "family day" so everything was closed, but I expect it for sure this week! I'm pumped.
Hi @phelimint, I totally hear you! The lure of crypto is very strong as it is new, exciting and the potential for some of the leading projects is huge. Like you however, Silver is where my heart is and where it will remain no matter what happens in the crypto space.
I will say this though, I am very thankful to crypto for leading me to Steemit, because since joining Steemit I have been making posts about items in my stack, some of the items I had not even looked at for a couple years before doing the post.
Steemit has really re-ignited my passion for the shiny stuff and reinforced in my mind why I started stacking all those years ago. Steemit has also introduced me to the great community that is #steemsilvergold, you guys rock and have made my first month on Steemit such an enjoyable time.
I am very excited to read your future silver stack posts. I too will focus most of my posts around silver stacking, but I will continue to post about crypto and post about this fascinating platform that is Steemit.
Below is a picture of one of the items of my stack that I love the most.
That is awesome @strenue like you I am interested in crypto and silver. I never expected the two to be synthesized so organically on steemit. I am loving SSG - keep it up!
That's a sick bar man, my buddy @ejr would go crazy for that, he loves vintage bars. I'm more into modern rounds.
I really do agree on the benefits and love for steemit as well.
Yeah... I’m one of those guys that found crypto and can’t shut up about it. So much for forex haha.
Looking forward to seeing some of your new Silver content mate. Always interested to see what’s going on in the world of physical 😎.
Damn crypto who would have though something invisible could be so distracting...lol.
Some amazing silver out there for sure.
This is actually encouraging me to use my cryptos to invest in silver. When my best friend decided to get married I was so broke that I resorted to selling all of my silver so that I could attend his wedding. You conjured the courage in me to return to investing in my favorite defense asset @phelimint. Thank you for this stunner..
Definitely a great option to pull some crypto gains and diversify into some silver! Hope you do it.
A steemit post about crypto and silver. This is a dream come true. Im investing 50/50 crypto/silver
There's quite a few of us around over at #steemsilvergold
Awesome! Thanks!
Great post @phelimint, I also have a piece for @pit-bullion and it's a unique part of my collection.
I would love to participate in such a discussion. I am already a silver stacker but it is always good to hear the arguments that prove that we are right...
Yeah, looks like there's a lack of counter augments so we're obviously right.
(you hear an engine rev and horn honk)
MEEP! MEEP!

"Hello! I'm @shadow3scalpel and with the help of my protege, @chairborne, we are actively assisting veterans, retirees and active servicemen and women here on Steemit. We feel it is our 'duty' to support each other. Any questions or comments you may have, simply respond to this comment, thank you!"

Happy to hear you weren't entirely swallowed by the crypto bug 😉
Not entirely, it's easier to ignore that part these days.
Yeah, my silver posts (and purchases) have dropped way off. One thing I'll say is the crypto community generally is full of a bunch of snotty trolls compared to the silver community. I entered a chatroom last night, asked a question and was immediately ridiculed. Happens all the time.
Anwhoo... I'll buy some more silver when I get some more money, haha. Expecting a few orders/pieces before too long 👍🏼
There's some nasty stackers in some corners of the internet too...
