silver

@ehelpmann So we have moved from “it is not grey” to “grey does not matter.” Thank you for conceding the first point.

@silver50x You are aware that the value is the same no matter the color? it's non-destructive and can be reversed in seconds? You know that right?

....and we dip some more: $76.21 #Silver spot

@silver50x It’s not even a pure coin buddy!

@ehelpmann Look at him without his luxurious coat.

@silver50x Grey is a shade between white and black. The more black, the more light is absorbed. As silver is the most reflective - thus least light absorbing - material, it is the least grey material in existence. It's science and cannot be disputed, so stop your bs - you are lost 👍🏻

@ehelpmann Well it”s a pale grey… and that is exactly why it is kept locked away in a sealed casing!!! never allowed out. The noble yellow one stands free, while the grey one remains a prisoner of its shell.

@silver50x You can't really call it gray as it's the most reflective material on earth. Everything else is more grey 👍🏻

@ehelpmann I meant to say that the gray metal will soon reveal its true nature — that it is not noble. Even if it wears silk and shows a gleam, the rare yellow one will remain king over all others.

@ehelpmann It seems Mr. Silver is being stripped of his luxurious silk coat. We shall see how long he lasts at the aristocrats’ party. 🤔🤔

@ehelpmann Not at all… I did not mean you. I meant that gray metallic mass trying to imitate the nobility.

Mummy portraits have been found across Egypt, but most common in Hawara, Faiyum Basin and Hadrianic Roman city Antinoopolis. “Fayum portraits” is generally used as stylistic, rather than geographic, description. While painted cartonnage mummy cases date back to pharaonic times. These Egyptian-Roman “death masks” are far more naturalistic than anything seen in western hemisphere for at least next 600 years. There is something disconcerting about gazing into face of someone who lived so long ago and have them look straight back at you – long and level, quizzical in a way that simulates direct connection. Portraits date to Imperial Roman era, from late 1st Century BC or early 1st Century AD onwards. It is not clear when their production ended, but recent research suggests middle of 3rd Century. They are among the largest groups among very few survivors of panel painting tradition of classical world, which continued into Byzantine, Eastern Mediterranean and Western traditions in post-classical world, including local tradition of Coptic iconography in Egypt. Portraits covered faces of bodies that were mummified for burial. Extant examples indicate that they were mounted into bands of cloth that were used to wrap bodies. Almost all have now been detached from mummies. They usually depict single person, showing the head or head and upper chest, viewed frontally. In terms of artistic tradition, images clearly derive more from Greco-Roman artistic traditions than Egyptian ones. Two groups of portraits can be distinguished by technique: one of encaustic (wax) paintings, other in tempera. Former are usually of higher quality. About 900 mummy portraits are known at present. Majority were found in necropolis of Fayum. Due to hot dry Egyptian climate, paintings are frequently very well preserved, often retaining their brilliant colors seemingly unfaded by time. Under Greco-Roman rule, Egypt hosted several Greek settlements, mostly concentrated in Alexandria, but also in a few other cities, where Greek settlers lived alongside with native Egyptians for all ethnicities, according to lower estimates. Fayum’s earliest Greek inhabitants were soldier-veterans and cleruchs (elite military officials) who were settled by Ptolemaic kings on reclaimed lands. Native Egyptians also came to settle in Fayum from all over country, Nile Delta, Upper Egypt, Oxyrhynchus and Memphis, to undertake labor involved in land reclamation process, as attested by personal names, local cults, and recovered papyri. It is estimated that as much as 30% of population of Fayum was Greek during Ptolemaic period, with rest being native Egyptians. By Roman period, much of “Greek” population of Fayum was made-up of either Hellenized Egyptians or people of mixed Egyptian-Greek origins. Later, in Roman Period, many veterans of Roman army, who, initially at least, were not Egyptian but people from disparate cultural and ethnic backgrounds, settled in area after completion of their service, and formed social relations and intermarried with local populations. While commonly believed to represent Greek settlers in Egypt, Fayum portraits instead reflect complex synthesis of predominant Egyptian culture and that of elite Greek minority in city. According to various sources, early Ptolemaic Greek colonists married local women and adopted Egyptian religious beliefs, and by Roman times, their descendants were viewed as Egyptians by Roman rulers, despite their own self-perception of being Greek. Portraits represent both descendants of ancient Greek mercenaries, who had fought for Alexander the Great, settled in Egypt and married local women, as well as native Egyptians who were majority, many of whom had adopted Greek or Latin names, then seen as ‘status symbols’. A DNA study shows genetic continuity between Pre-Ptolemaic, Ptolemaic and Roman populations of Egypt, indicating that foreign rule impacted Egypt’s population only to very limited degree at genetic level. #archaeohistories

@Eyaaaad تخيل فقط جندي الاحتياط بعمر الستينيات.. يحضر معه كومة من الأدوية للامراض المزمنة الي يعاني منها الى المعسكر حين الاستدعاء… ثم تخيل بعدها حين يؤسر ويفقد الوصول الى ادويته

ألمانيا... رئيس جيش الاحتياط الألماني يقترح رفع سن أفراد الاحتياط في الجيش ليكون حتى 70 عامًا. هذا يعني أن الألمان الذين يبلغون من العمر 70 عام سينخرطون في الحروب إذا تمت الموافقة على الاقتراح. السبب؟ نقص الشباب.

@ehelpmann I wanted you to notice that this coin has value for you by compulsion and none for me by compulsion The monetary system strips it of value in my context & imposes the opposite in yours What matters isn’t when it was minted or its condition but when the system decides it has value

@silver50x Hehe… 10 kr 👍 It actually has a bit of collectors value as it’s the first mintage year of the form factor we still mint and use today.

Another sub-$80 #Silver offer I couldn't resist... Norwegian🇳🇴 bullion! No brakes 🔥🤣

Gothic-style articulated gauntlets that belonged to Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I Augsburg, South Germany, around 1490.

@ehelpmann I have a coin that isn’t old (minted in 1989), yet its engraving and details have worn away. The problem is, it is far from its place of origin… it has no value here, and no one recognizes it. The meaning is deep.. but only those with sharp vision can see it.

@silver50x So true. History a shows how commodity cycles work affected by supply and demand. It also shows how currencies rise and die 👍🏻

@ehelpmann History has an eternal lesson… people just don’t learn it. 📉

@ehelpmann When the price flattens over the coming years, you will incur a negative annual return; and if the price collapses, that is a scenario you may not even wish to contemplate.

What is stopping you from buying physical Silver ?

@patato_ass Because it is a gray metallic mass that darkens over time… no central bank desires to acquire it. And when the radiant yellow king appears, the gray masses bow to him and line up beside their brethren of iron.

@HessenCapital I dont deny I like silver but I dont consider it an asset and I dont understand why people stack it as an investment when that bright yellow glow appears silver fades and withers

@silver50x I agree. Endgame is #Gold, always. #Silver is the closest derivative of gold (in my opinion), and my favorite lever of it.

Progress! Keep Stacking #SILVER

@HessenCapital If that grey metal truly had real value central banks wouldn’t have left it for us to buy they have more capital and deeper market knowledge they left it to us and kept the bright yellow gold for themselves now we’re even buying copper bars telling ourselves we’re stacking assets
