Silver going to hit $80 tonight?

sometime, sometime soon. No rush.

Hello $80

Is $80 good? If you knew how much I bought at $14, I’d say it’s good.

The entire modern world is ran by silver and it’s running out.

Silver is almost as vital as oil. Imagine thinking it’s ‘icky’? That’s just somebody who is ignorant or misinformed on it. Believe me, I love gold too. It’s just not scarce or needed in the modern world. It’s just a great store of value and hedge against inflation. I have lots of that too and my wife keeps getting her safety deposit box stuffed by it from her Dad. She now has 2 1/2 times as much gold as me and knows nothing about it. If the GSR gets down to about 20:1, I’d probably swap my silver it. We’ll see.

Silver is highly valued for its unique combination of the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of any element, exceptional reflectivity, and natural antimicrobial properties.
As of 2026, the primary use cases for silver are categorized as follows:

1. Electronics and High-Tech
Electronics is the largest industrial consumer of silver due to its unmatched conductivity.
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs): Silver is essential for connecting paths in the circuitry of smartphones, laptops, and tablets.
Artificial Intelligence (AI): Data centers and AI workloads demand silver for advanced graphics processing and thermal management systems to prevent overheating.
5G Infrastructure: Base stations, antennas, and optical transceivers rely on silver for high-speed data transfer.
Batteries: Silver-oxide and silver-zinc alloys are used in small, long-life batteries for watches, hearing aids, and specialized electronic tools.

2. Green Energy and Automotive
Silver is a critical component in the transition to renewable energy and electric transportation.
Solar Panels (Photovoltaics): Silver paste forms the conductive grid on 90% of crystalline silicon solar cells, capturing and transporting generated electricity.
Electric Vehicles (EVs): EVs require nearly double the silver of conventional cars for battery management systems, power-operated windows, and distance sensors.
Charging Stations: Public fast-charging units use 1–2 kg of silver in their power electronics and connections.

3. Medical and Healthcare
Silver's antimicrobial properties make it vital for infection control, especially against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Advanced Wound Care: Silver-embedded bandages and creams (like silver sulfadiazine) are used to treat severe burns and chronic ulcers.
Medical Equipment: It is used as an antibiotic coating for catheters, stents, and surgical instruments to prevent bacterial colonization.
Water Purification: Silver ions are used to disinfect drinking water in community supplies, hospitals, and even aboard the International Space Station.

4. Industrial and Chemical Applications
Brazing and Soldering: Silver alloys create strong, leak-proof joints in HVAC systems, plumbing, and aerospace manufacturing.
Chemical Catalyst: Silver is the primary catalyst for producing ethylene oxide and formaldehyde, which are essential for manufacturing plastics, polyester, and antifreeze.
Mirrors and Coatings: It is used to create highly reflective mirrors and "Low-E" window coatings that reflect solar energy to reduce cooling costs.

5. Traditional and Investment Uses
Jewelry and Silverware: Sterling silver (92.5% silver) remains the standard for durable, high-luster jewelry and tableware.
Physical Investment: Silver is held as a store of value in the form of bullion bars and coins, often used for portfolio diversification.
Photography: While digital has replaced most consumer film, silver halide is still used in specialized medical X-rays and high-quality radiographic imaging.

I drink rainwater, they started adding fluoride to the water supply some years back and I wanted no part of it. The effects on the human brain from long exposure are well established. People get soft in the head.

In the kitchen I have a large multi-stage filter and in the bottom I tossed 50 or so old silver coins. The silver wears away over time and you drink it, a mild natural antibiotic, probably not as effective as eating off silverware but I use that to, epns.

Water fluoridation
Wikipedia
It is normally accomplished by adding one of three compounds to the water: sodium fluoride, fluorosilicic acid, or sodium fluorosilicate. Sodium fluoride (NaF)





$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')odium fluoride (NaF) is primarily a byproduct of the phosphate fertilizer industry, created from waste gases like silicon tetrafluoride and hydrogen fluoride released when treating phosphate rock with sulfuric acid; it's also associated with aluminum, steel, and nuclear industries, with the fluoride waste often captured and sold for water fluoridation and other uses

You must be green with envy eh troll? Seeing EU and me sitting pretty with our big stashes of Gold and Silver and you over there with just digital promises, waiting for the Big market crash. Yeah we know, you have Gold too *wink* *wink*

Rio Tinto And Glencore In Talks To Form World's Largest Mining Company With $200 Billion Valuation
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he companies confirmed Thursday that they are discussing various deal structures, including an all-share takeover covering part or all of Glencore’s business... If completed, the transaction would eclipse any previous mining merger and create a giant capable of rivaling BHP. Copper is the central prize. With prices recently surging above $13,000 a ton amid supply disruptions and tariff fears, mining executives increasingly see copper as the industry’s most strategic asset.
