Damn 31.95 right now, goes to 50 I'm cashing out
I doubt that, although anything can happen.
AG has hit $50 twice in the last 45 years.
Both times far less than its value.
In 1980, $50 is more like what, $300 now?
In 2011'ish...$120?
The future is uncertain totally, but let's work that out.
Let's say Youtube doesn't censor precious metals knowledge.
If silver hits $50, it's within a monetary crisis.
The 1% own 50% of the wealth, and need to protect it.
What are better options than gold & silver?
Gold massively undervalued, silver the most suppressed asset in history.
1) Most conductive
2) Most heat transferrable
3) most reflective
4) most healthy
5) self-healing structurally
At even 16-1 gold-silver ratio, say the DOW crashes to 6-8k, most likely gold gets revalued 1-1, so 6 or 8k.
It's hoarded by governments, and silver is what's left.
16-1, which is double the mining rate of around 7-1, silver sits at $375/oz. which is far less than its worth on earth.
If it's going to 50, it's definitely going to $100 & higher.
Certainly a mass casualty event changes that, but likely includes war & health, where silver's needed industrially.
Another factor is certainly CBDC's, which would probably include "buybacks" rather than confiscation in a slow boil, like gold in the great depression era.
Another factor is population & rarity.
Silver's historic highs are never calculated per capita, IE 1920, 80, & 2011 value per human.
Those $50 highs had half the population, so were really $100 give or take.
So if info is free flowing, FOMO would drive silver to unobtanium levels.
I personally think there will be very bad things in this scenario or in any, but $50 is like selling when its on the rise.
In a free market, silver would be in the high hundreds surely.
I have no idea what happens, but do know holding the most suppressed & helpul metal on eath, easily tested by plebes with a ping test, easily recognized by populations, is like taking fire; right over the target.
That said, I get it, but I'd rather hold it when a suppressed asset trades me for a dinner out on the town per oz. when it ought to buy me a top of the line 12 pc. Milwaukee set, with batteries of course.
