In short, no, silver is silver.
But, sometimes, special coins can capture some premium over grains of silver.
I still wonder when the silver price squeeze will take place.
Industries use silver en masse. At what point will we run out?
Don’t EV cares use some silver? Aren’t solar panels being built all over the place?
To me, I feel like these silvers being used is like hive power.
It gets “locked up” and can’t be sold… BUT, it can be “powered down” (melted) and then sold.
But, we all know that one person (maybe it’s us) who does not recycle. You, the person who always throws a can or bottle into the garbage instead of recycling it.
Well, how many electronics are lost forever, either thrown into a pit, lost at sea, buried forever.. this is essentially taking some silver off the market.
The idea that there are thousands of us, that buy when we can, as much as we can afford, and just hoard it. We are collectively trying to manipulate this market by removing as much psychical silver as we can.
Personally, there are a few coins, and a few bars I will buy, other than some 1 oz coins and some 10z or 1 KG silver bars I will be sticking with gold.
My next post will most likely be a silver for food post :)
