I am a SILVER STACKER because of three main reasons!!!

a) To begin with, I learned about silver's incredible value, beauty and history at a really young age as my grandpa's family in Smyrna traded silver during a period that everybody was after gold (1850's). It didn't go well for them initially, but a decade later they were some of the richest traders in all Smyrna. Unfortunately, our family's wealth was lost during the "Great fire of Smyrna."

b) Historically speaking, the Greeks were the first people in history mining silver back in 3000 BC in Anatolia (later known as Byzantium). I am of Greek origin and I love studying the history of my ancestors. The Greeks used tonnes of silver fashioning valuable ornaments, jewelry, and eating utensils. In contrast to the Romans, the ancient Greeks valued and loved silver more than gold.

Furthermore, according to Greek myth, the "Silver Period of Man" as described by the ancient poet Hesiod in his poem Works and Days, following the Golden age and preceding the Bronze Age, was the very best (in my opinion) for men as humans supposedly lived a whole century as children and later youngsters without growing up (they only reached to their late 20's) and then suddenly aged and died overnight, usually peacefully in their sleep. THAT AWESOME silver was to humans according to Greek myth :)

Also the scientific symbol Ag for silver derived from the Greek ἀργός translating to "shiny."

c) Last but not least, I LOVE and VALUE silver more than any other chemical element because I am fascinated by its amazing colour and its amazing DIVERSITY. Most people think of silver just as "money," but if you do some research about it, you will realize that silver is and has been useful to our for centuries now. Even in today's hi-tech world, compounds of silver are used in photographic and X-ray film to improve the quality of the image/picture.
