Ya know, from one peasant to another, silver is apparently one of THE most shortsold communities in the world. Honestly, most people who 'own' silver own paper silver, which is a promise from a bank that will totally give you silver for your certificate, swearsies. Lmao... Paper silver...
Now wouldn't it be funny if all of a sudden there waa a huge surge in demand for people wanting their silver after the bank has promised to sell the same piece of silver 10 times to 10 different people? Oh man. It'd be even more funny if all the peasants decided to buy up and hold all the silver bullion they could to drive that wedge and make JP Morgan cry. Imagine the panic as all the stores disappear and a bunch of disgruntled certificate holders wonder why their paper claim is suddenly meaningless. Sounds to me like it could upset the entire world banking structure.
GME only worked because the peasants leveraged their collective weight to fuck over some HEDGIES, but if it taught me anything, it could be done again.
Now I'm not saying to go out of your way and buy PHYSICAL silver, clean out the vaults, and laugh at the financial institutions. I'm no financial advisor and telling you what to do would be totally unethical and immoral and illegal, even tho information like this can be readily found for free just about anywhere, BUT, I must say i totally love gettin me some silver. I just ordered an extra 7 ounces. It's pretty cheap, 30 bucks an ounce, and a great store of value. It's a physical good that will always have value to manufacturers and collectors alike, and what with COVID, most companies have put mining operations on hold, so the limited nature of its supply is sure to drive the demand.
I think my favorite thing about silver tho is that when you hold it, you can feel its otherworldly nature. It's a cold and dispassionate metal of myth that slays evil corruptions, like werewolves, vampires, and bankers!
You can even get cool designs! I like pirates :3
