One vital use of silver you didn’t mention: slaying vampires. Like central banks.

One way to roughly determine silver’s inherent value is by examining the number and strength of the various ways that banks and their associated governments suppress its market value. Silver is the most heavily manipulated commodity on the planet. Banks and governments don’t keep such a tight lid on helium, or pork bellies, or coal. Silver receives the most intense suppression treatment of any commodity whatsoever because it’s the keyptonite of every kleptocracy on earth. So we must arm ourselves against the biggest of the earthly demons with….. silver.

Thank you , btw, for your assessment of Musk and Harris. I agree with you wholeheartedly. I appreciate how you don’t shy away from complex shades of gray when most people find comfort in just picking a side and ignoring the indications that it may not be what it seems, because the safety of the group with a leader overrides the bigger concern over where the leader may be taking the group. For most people, experiencing the collective experience of going to slaughter seems to be preferable to the fear of being alone. So people accept questionable leadership just because other people accept it, and rationalize it just to simplify thinking. I appreciate how you don’t do that because facts matter to you more than does the comfort of mass delusions.

That’s the sort of quality that makes a true leader and someone worth listening to, IMO.

Hi Guys,

I am enjoying reading your posts and am learning about the growing number of use cases for silver in an electrifying world. I found your quantitative piece on the quantity of silver required for the solar industry interesting.

I must admit, I am a little lost understanding how much silver demand there is for satellites / missiles / torpedoes / etc, and whether this demand is material or not relative to the c. 1B oz of annual supply.

As a suggestion, a piece highlighting current / forecast silver use in industrial applications outside of solar would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

John
