Featured Steemsilvergold Member

1/ When and how did you find Steemit.com and why did you hang around and continue to post and be active?

2/ How did you find out about Steemsilvergold and what appealed to you to make you sign up?

I Will answer question 1 and 2 together.
I have never heard of steem or steemsilvergold till around the second week of January 2018. I used to watch videos on Youtube about coin collecting, stacking, prepping, silver, gold, etc. One of the people that I followed was Silverbackstacker, known here as @sbsparts. One day he started putting adds on his videos about steemit. I became curious and came here. He told me about steemsilvergold community and I started following its members and commenting on their articles. I was very well received and for almost one month I only commented. Some members insisted that I should post articles (one of them was @silverstackeruk) but I was a little afraid of writing in a non-native language. One day I decided not to be afraid anymore and now I have 122 articles written in English and in Portuguese, all about my coin collections.

3/ How long ago and what first got you interested in precious metals?

I think I am the elder of the community, for I am 69 years old. That makes me walk back in time to the end of the seventies. I am an electronic engineer, but I worked most of my life as a system analyst, developing computer programs and systems. I was not married yet and I had always a surplus of money. I decided to invest it on two things: the risky one was the stock market and the safe one would be a house or land. The problem is that I cannot buy a window or a wall or a very small area of land. So, my safe option should be precious metals. That way I started buying small quantities of silver and eventually a smaller quantity of gold. The good thing is that, after 40 years, my stack has a reasonable size.

4/ In your own mind. What type of stacker would you class yourself as if you could only pick one type and why?

I have no doubt that I am not a stacker. I am a collector. That is easily proved by the fact that, not counting junk silver, I have almost no duplicates in my collection. As I hate to collect the same thing, for example Morgan Dollars or Franklin Halves, almost all my collections are about commemorative coins. They are always different.

5/ Do you plan your precious metal buys with goals in mind are do you go with the flow and stack here and there?

No, I try to complete my collections when I have money to spend

6/ Being a collector, if you could have any 1 complete mint condition series. Not based on value, would you have a series you dream of having?

Yes, I have a series that I would love to have it completed, slabbed and with the highest grade possible. It is the $.50 American Commemoratives (1892-1954), but that is only a dream.

7/ If you could only stack 1 coin, bar are round. Which coin/series/bar would you pick and why?

I would stack the 2oz Queen’s Beasts series, simply because I like the beasts and I think their value will rise in the future more than silver will

8/ On a scale of 1-10 scoring yourself on stackitis stress levels. What would be your highest level ever rasied, what were your symptoms and how did you overcome it?

After 40 years buying constantly, my stackits level is very controled. I discovered that writing about coins helps to keep it low

9/ Scenario – Your on a date with Precious trying to impress her and when it comes time to pay, you see you have have leaft your wallet at home? What do you do? and how do you save face?

After living 69 years you learn that the simple truth is almost always the best solution. I would tell her what happened and used this fact to try for another date. Another thing: women (or mermaids) are not impressed with what happened. Those that are impressed, go away from them

10/ What’s your favourite ?

To be updated......

Big Thank you to @ronaldoavelino for answering the questions and sharing a few things with us. He has been with us 3-4 months and is a solid member of the community. He claims to be over the hill but let me tell you something, if at 69 years old he is far from it. 95% the guy in theirs 30's have no idea what im on about while talking about crypto's and steemit. Tenha um bom dia meu amigo
