It is real what I am saying is that the shortages and other worldwide economic problems are not related.

I think COVID-19 is the pin that popped the bubble. As in, it's the catalyst for this pending collapse. Things were already slipping, but this outbreak sped it up.

It shows how little substance and fragile this propped up economy really is.

Prices are dropping because many are escaping into cash for now. But, there are also lots of people buying. For example, my friend literally heard someone going into the shop to buy more than 10K ounces of silver (which is the store limit per customer per transaction) in one go.

APMEX now sets a minimum of $300 per order.

Personally, I think we will never see them this low again in the years to come.
