Not sure why you mention that price to be honest. It's too late for 3.5k.

at $3500 a few months ago he was waiting for $1000

meanwhile there is a small sign of life, I see a tiny spike. will it grow to a massive green dildo?

Of one of my close friends was waiting for $100, he is a total noob though but it was still funny to witness such naivety. Told him around $4000 that
 he should buy now, he didn't. Of course last month I received a Whatsapp message from him damn I should have bought

As Reuters reported on Aug. 28, the gold industry is currently facing a forgery crisis — with fake kilogram bars found in the vaults of major banks such as JPMorgan Chase.

Hope they are good at acting surprised

Just curious, why silver and not gold?

Gold has been a better investment most of the time.

1)  The gold to silver ratio chart highly favors silver

2)  Silver is the most artificially downward rigged commodity on the entire planet in the futures market and the goal is to buy low sell high
 
3)  There's something like 1/4th the amount of above ground silver now as during the 1980's metals bull run while there's twice as much above ground gold since then.  Hard to quantify the exact supply numbers, but they favor a massive silver spike moreso than gold in any type of 'free market'.

4)  To prevent silver from being depleted and disappearing like it's current trajectory, the price will eventually have to go to several hundred dollars an ounce to warrant recycling in things like electronics

5)  In any type of monetary metals revaluation, the west has a huge shortfall in gold with probably somewhere between 0 to 2000 tons only, so would likely attempt to buffer the gold shortfall with silver valued at a high ratio like 10-20:1 instead.

6)  All other things being equal, silver has better fundamentals than gold due to having more use cases.  Commodity money works under the context that if you hoard the entire supply, people somewhere actually need the commodity resource for something and you can ask whatever the market can bear.  Conversely, since Bitcoin is not a real commodity or resource, if you hoard all 21 million the entire planet can just laugh at you and you have no power over anyone or anything.

I know, right? I'm sure it was a great run for them while it has lasted. I guess gold isn't as stable or trustworthy as it's made out to be, or at least the gatekeepers in charge of it aren't.

Total nonsense.  Even small coin shops and pawn shops have the electronics needed to test gold and silver 1/20th oz to kilo bars, let alone MEGA BANKS with billions of dollars at their disposal.  You can even test smaller bars and coins with a resonance ping test and android app on your cell phone.  If places like JP Morgan have fake metals - unless all of their employees are running around drunk and high on cocaine - it's not because they accidentally received them, it's because they're attempting to create fake tungsten bars to scam other people.

Thanks for the constructive reply. That's what this forum is all about.

My last merit well spent.


I have been saying for years our economic disparity has all stemmed from Nixon and been yelled down for it.

Every once in awhile I like to look at old bitcoin purchases.....

In March 2014 I bought a Wii U for 1btc.

I'm looking at it now. See how stupid I was?

At least you’re still in the game, bro. If you look around this forum sometimes you see old posts telling how people sold their entire stash for pittance.

I was saying to micg in Amsterdam that I sold some years ago which looks stupid now but I had to experiment & figure out how to sell. We’d be utter morons if we didn’t know how to sell when the time comes.

Thing is that when recession happens and GDP start falling down and government start spend more to revive economy then debt makes a huge leg up. So if you have now 100% you will have then 130% or 150% almost instantly. So all countries should decrease it drastically in last 5 years, but 3/4 of them totally failed.

Interestingly that's Russia. They've been trying to participate in this grand game and print more debt for awhile now but sanctions slowing growth.
Mortgages, student loans and personal debt are a fairly new concept for them of which they seem to be piling into as quickly as possible. Sigh.....
