    Creimer, there is no "constitutional right" to file for bankruptcy.

    Would we have bankruptcy today without it being explicitly mentioned in the constitution? Debtor prisons and penal colonies were popular in Great Britain.

    I'm confused - weren't all those russian photo site images photos of you?

    Russian schoolboys.

    Having a liberal arts degree doesn't disqualify you from working in IT. If you only have a liberal arts degree, no technical certifications and no previous IT experience for a high-level role as CSO, you must have really nice legs.

    Are you *actually* suggesting that you're a modern-day Abraham Lincoln?

    I'm just pointing out that I'm not the only American who exercised their constitutional right to file for bankruptcy (the current POTOUS done so four times) and that having a past bankruptcy doesn't disqualify me anything else in life. In fact, I've suffered no negative consequences from having a bankruptcy.

    I'm unaware of any photo showing off my skinny ass.

    What about investing in working antique guns? Safety + ROI.. :)

    In the SHTF scenarios, the other thing more valuable than precious metals is bullets. Everyone will have guns. But they will trade anything for more bullets.

    So, on average, you have lost over 20%.

    If I was to sold my stack at spot.

    Yeah, I think I will not be taking financial advice from you.

    Especially since I'm buying silver for the long term (30+ years) and would love to see spot prices return to $5 per ounce.

    So hedging against inflation simply means you're throwing away a huge amount of potential returns from better investments.

    Some items in my silver stack are worth two to four times the price I paid for them. Most items will resell will above spot prices. Of course, it's all relative. I recently paid $130 for a 5-oz silver coin that sold for $300 a few years ago.

    [...] you're a bankruptee [...]

    Pre-Internet (19th century): "Mr. Lincoln, it's unfortunate that you had to file bankruptcy because your business partners abandoned you and the grocery store went under. But, as a bankruptee, what makes you think you can run for president of the United States?"

    "I can never afford to retire, no matter how old I am - and if I ever can't find a new job, or if I have serious medical issues, I guess I'll just sleep on the street!"

    Bankers are indeed sleazy, but what does that say about the BTC market when even they think its sleazy?

    It means that the bankers haven't figured out how to get a piece of the BTC action. Once they get their cut, BTC will become legit in their eyes.

    It's been around 17 for like years++ which means you are slowly losing money.

    Silver was $5 per ounce in 2000, peaked at $46 per ounce in 2011, and bouncing around $17 per ounce since 2014.

  15. Because the advertising companies don't need to care.

    Unless advertisers start pulling their dollars. When advertisers noticed that their ads were being shown with extremist videos on YouTube, they pulled their dollars and content creators saw their YouTube earnings drop between 50% to 90%. That situation is still on going as YouTube tries to keep the advertisers happy.

    If that graph is to be believed, I am utterly amazed that enough people clicked on his BS to make him over $100 in one month. What is wrong with people? The links seldom had anything to actually do with the Slashdot story, and most of them were for things that no one should ever want to buy...

    The majority of those links were for books. People who read books are often curious as to what books other people are reading. The click through rate on links shouldn't be surprising. Slashdot management would be wise to run more Amazon ads. A month doesn't go by without one or two people dropping $1,000+ on an Amazon order.

    If you see these heavy people going to the hospital frequently, how do you NOT pause to think, "That'll be me soon unless I make major changes in my health and lifestyle?"

    These heavy people are heavier than me. I take up one seat, they take up two or three seats. I exercise, diet and don't listen to the naysayers. I've done that for 30 years. I'll do that for another 30+ years.

    I don't recall seeing that "We are a participant in..." phrase published in your signature at all in all your months of spamming Slashdot... I wonder if failure to identify yourself is an actionable offense in Amazon's view?

    If you think I violated the Amazon TOS, file a complaint. Slashdot also started putting up Amazon ads without that verbiage. You might want to complain about them as well. Don't forget the 50+ affiliate tags that are being posted anonymously. Be sure to complain about those as no one else is complaining about them because they're posted by ACs.

    IIRC, weren't there some bit.ly links obscuring amazon affiliate links being spammed by you, too?

    Nope. The bit.ly links were for links back to my websites.
