Silver and Sound Money

Silver & Sound Money

• Some people believe silver is not real money due to the perception that only government-issued currency has value.
• This belief is enforced because most people have only ever handled fiat currency.
• It is rooted in the lack of historical understanding of money's evolution, assuming money and currency are the same.
• One concern is that Silver-backed assets (SLRs) will not maintain worth because anything outside mainstream finance is considered unstable.
• This fear comes from the belief that central banks dictate value, leading to skepticism about alternatives.
• It confuses price volatility with fundamental worth, revealing a weakness in understanding intrinsic value.
• Some view SLRs as gimmicks because they think anything new must be a marketing stunt
• This knee-jerk reaction is driven by the common use of financial products to extract instead of preserving wealth
• The critics dont understand how SLR mechanics actually function
• Doubters think that only Gold is valuable but narratives elevate gold and ignore silver.
• The critics do not appreciate that silver has historically outperformed gold during monetary crises
• There is also an assumption that history will not repeat itself
• A further concern is that silver is not suitable for everyday transactions because physical assets are inconvenient

Economics & Finance

• A common claim is that silver is just a get-rich-quick scheme; it assumes profitability is exploitative.
• Past scams have made people too skeptical to identify genuine value.
• Skepticism comes from not differentiating speculation from sound money, assuming alternative finance is a con.
• The government and political decisions undermine monetary stability and there is a weakness in analyzing economic history
• Banks actively suppress competition to maintain fiat dominance and innovation
• People think that anything new must be flawed

Leadership & Authority

• One belief is that leaders are power-hungry because leadership is viewed as ego-driven instead of purpose-driven.
• Such views create suspicion towards those initiating something new and dont see past self-interest.
• Critics think that strong decision-making equals authoritarian control and therefore see the structure as tyranny
• They mistake selective action for total dismissal, resenting unimplemented ideas and struggle with strong personalities.
• They are resistant to anything outside of comfort zones.
• People are uncomfortable with clear answers and project insecurity, assuming that expertise is not real.

Professionalism & Ethics

• Ambitious goals are suspected as exaggerated, assuming that anything too good must be a lie.
• Results are doubted before they are seen, dismissing opportunities habitually.
• Adaptability is mistaken for inconsistency, preferring pre-packaged solutions and not understanding evolution.
• Critics do not trust solutions unless they are first mainstream.

Ego & Personal Attacks

• Speaking publicly equates to being an attention seeker, seeing leadership as just performance and only doing it for applause.
• People cannot see past self promotion
• The public does not see genuine belief and conviction in helping people, only seeing self interest and personal gain
• Critiques are expected to be passively absorbed and not responsed to with logic

Miscellaneous & Wild Accusations

• It is thought that anything financial must be tied to institutional control
• People suspect that anything outside the mainstream is illegitimate, and do not see the difference between secrecy and privacy
• It is assumed that anyone financially involved in something must be manipulating it for profit

Relationships

• Evolving relationships are considered transactional.
• It is thought that if someone moves on from a relationship that they have extracted all possible value.
• Seeing strong, aligned teams are a hierarchical dependence and see this is not mutual respect.
• They do not see focus and hard work, and only see emotional detatchment.
• People prefer comfort over growth.
• Dedication is mistaken for detatchment and the do not see purpose and people are not mutually exclusive
