That's right, YOU can win silver bullion in the form of a round or a bar, even a mummy! All it takes is one STEEM. That's right one STEEM token will get you one entry into the Monster Raffle. SSG stands for #SteemSilverGold and it is a group of folks here on Steemit that collect precious metals, such as silver and gold.
Wait! Don't stop reading.
OK, great, you're still here, but you don't give a rats ass about #steemsilvergold. Fine, not many people on Steemit do, but it does not matter you can still win silver and GOLD! In fact, if you are not a member of steemsilvergold and you buy a ticket for the raffle I will buy you one as well. This is for the first five people that do this and you gotta figure out a way to let me know so it's a little work for you, but it will double your chances.
WTF is a silver coin worth anyhow?
Good question (by me ;) ). Pure or "fine" silver is currently worth about $14.50 USD (United States Dollars) per ounce. So if you see a coin (known as a round) like one of these you know it is worth about $14.50 at the moment.
As you can see the weight of the round is always printed somewhere on said round. So just multiply the number of ounces by $14.50 and #boom, there is the value. Same goes for gold and there is some gold, PURE GOLD to be won in this raffle.
Are you still with me?
So the current price of silver or gold is called the "spot price". I don't know what the term spot refers to either but think of it as "current", the "current price" of silver is.
And the current spot price of gold is.
Not too shabby.
"So, what are the prizes?"
Excellent question! The prizes are listed in this post. Just scroll down and you will see the list, BUT, more prizes are being added every day. This goes back to the community thing and I know you are not "part" of the #steemsilvergold community but you can still win prizes from them. And that's really all that matters here, winning prizes in an epic raffle. As a matter of fact, if you are not a member of the ssg commuity and you want to get two free tickets just reply to this post and say "this is dumb but I want in" and I'll buy you two tickets into the EPIC raffle (first two respondents).
How do I know the raffle will be epic? Well, the last one was, and just look at the prizes available in this raffle. As I said prizes are still being added so if you just follow for a bit you will see updated posts with ALL the prizes.
The raffle will take place on Saturday, September 1st at 11p GMT.
Now, you can just type "gmt converter" into the google or you can go to this fancy website and put in your info to find out when it will happen for you.
You can be a part of the action as it happens!
Yep, I was there at the last Monster Raffle and it was a crazy blast! It is done on discord and here in the link: https://discord.gg/84Uqd7r
Just click that link and come say hi! Do I care if you are a "member"? HELL NO!!! Seriously just click that discord link and come say hi. If you do, tag me #0366 and I will buy you one ticket to the raffle (first three tags only). I really can't tell you how much fun it was to be there as the live draw happened. There were many prizes so after a number was drawn there would be a brief pause to figure what came next then BOOM, next prize!
Here is a prize you could win for just one STEEM.
Here are 5 ounces of fine silver, current market value, about $75. Yep, you could take this 5 ounce bar down to your local coin shop (LCS) and they would give you something close to $75 for it.
Here it is next to a dime for scale!
Witnesses too
You guys keep working hard so we can blog about this crazy stuff on Steemit. I know you are busy but come on down and take your chances to win some cold hard silver or gold. In fact the first two steem witnesses (top 50) that throw down and buy a ticket will get two extra tickets provided by me, .
So come on! Take a chance!
I know the price of STEEM is in the toilet and they are hard to come by these days but that doesn't matter. The tide will turn. So if you have at least one STEEM in you wallet, that one you have been slooooooooowly accumulating, now is the time to set it free. Trade it for a chance to win some cold hard assets (MONEY) like silver or gold. And join us in the discord room on Saturday, September 1st at 11pm GMT for the fun.
