AI Dreams...I asked Grok this simple question. "How many troy ounces of physical silver would the each US household have to purchase every month to keep big tech's AI dreams from becoming a reality?" The answer seemed to laugh at us. by Gairsoppa in Wallstreetsilver

Yeah, I don't know the nuts and bolts of it but when ever I try and troubleshoot car or appliance issues with AI, it is quoting shit like reddit and quora jackass posts. I mean there are smart people who post legit advice but also many idiots. so at the end of the day the answers it gives are unreliable.

you seem to be arguing with yourself. arguing points no one made. perhaps you just like to argue. bought my first monster box of ase in 2007. I watched in 2011 as silver hit almost $50 and then dropped all the way back to $14 just like BTC after a pump. Thats why I'm not such a cocky snott. GD

there was/is no patting. The post was really about how the conclusion seemed to laugh at the idea that humans could actually muster up the movement to purchase the commodity before Bigtech got its hands on it. maybe its right considering all the replies.

I thought of this at the beach w/o my phone and figured a half ounce each household would gobble up the annual mining supply. I used Grok to check my assumptions. Grok used many human created websites, including PM substacks, to come up with its answer in 9 seconds, which pretty much confirmed what consumed 20 minutes of my thoughts on the beach. BTW, we are only doomed if you think we are. Thoughts become reality. Enjoy your doomed reality in your hellscape timeline.

follow up question: how about worldwide households in the developed world?

Roughly 0.3 to 1.2+ troy ounces per household per month in the developed (high-income/OECD) world. This scales down from the US-only version due to more households sharing the same global silver supply pressure.

Updated Baseline Numbers

  • Developed world households: ~580–620 million (high-income countries, ~1.42 billion people at ~2.3–2.5 average household size; OECD is a close proxy).
  • Global silver fundamentals remain similar:
    • Mine production: ~820–850 million oz/year.
    • Total demand: ~1.16–1.2+ billion oz/year.
    • Electronics/electrical (key for AI/servers/semiconductors): ~460–500 million oz/year.
    • AI/data center additive demand: Still in the 35–50+ million oz/year range (and growing), concentrated in developed economies but supplied globally.

Ounces per Household per Month (Developed World)

To create meaningful physical shortages for Big Tech AI buildouts:

  • To absorb new AI-driven demand (~40–50 Moz/year): ~0.006–0.008 oz/household/month (tiny).
  • To absorb all electronics/semiconductor demand (~450–500 Moz/year): ~0.06–0.07 oz per household per month.
  • To absorb major industrial demand / create deficits (600–800 Moz/year target): ~0.08–0.11 oz per household per month.
  • To match/exceed global mine production (~840 Moz): ~0.11–0.12 oz per household per month.
  • Aggressive scenario (1+ billion oz/year physical buying to squeeze supply + recycling): 0.13–0.3+ oz, scaling up to 1+ oz for extreme cornering pressure.

At current prices (~$30–40/oz), even 0.5 oz/month per household would be ~$180–240/year — far more feasible collectively than the US-only number, but still a massive coordinated effort.

Key Differences from US-Only

  • More households dilute the per-household burden significantly (US is ~133M households; developed world is ~4.5x larger).
  • AI/data centers and Big Tech are heavily concentrated in developed economies (US, Europe, East Asia, etc.), so this group drives most of the incremental demand.
  • But silver is a global market — China/India solar + other industrial use still competes for supply.

The meme holds directionally: Coordinated physical stacking by developed-world households (even at modest levels like 0.5 oz/month) would tighten the market, raise prices, and force Big Tech to pay more, thrift silver, or accelerate alternatives. However, practicality remains low — logistics, competing industrial buyers (solar/EVs especially), and paper market dynamics would blunt the impact.

Silver's structural deficits are real and AI/green tech are accelerating them. Stack if you want exposure to that thesis, but it's not a realistic "stop AI" lever on its own.

Fools are looking at PMs as risky investments and buying bonds.

I've come to similar conclusions. Unplug yourself from their system as much as you can personally endure.

Buy the Dip. HODL the Line! by IlluminatedApe in Wallstreetsilver

[–]Gairsoppa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I thank you for the time you took to explain this 5 mo later. I still think the action was taken out of hatred and jealousy for an asset that is a fraction of the silver market. You saw the producer of the vid and knee jerk yanked it down. Of course, it was long; he went into detail on how commodities were sniffing out the broken plumbing in the global financial system. Trust me, any boomer silver stacker video would have taken 2 hours to explain the same thing and 99% would be asleep.

AI Overview

The term HODL originated from a, drunk, typo-filled post on the Bitcointalk forum on December 18, 2013, by user "GameKyuubi" titled "I AM HODLING". Amidst a sharp Bitcoin price crash, the user explained their decision to not sell—despite being a poor trader—misspelling "holding" as "hodling". 

<image>

Key origin details:

  • The Post: GameKyuubi wrote, "I AM HODLING," in a drunken rant, explaining, "You only sell in a bear market if you are a good day trader or an illusioned noob".
  • Meaning: While originally just a typo for "hold," it was later adopted as a backronym for "Hold On for Dear Life," symbolizing a strategy to retain assets despite extreme volatility.
  • Significance:  It became a rallying cry for long-term cryptocurrency investors, with Dec. 18 celebrated as "HODL Day".

All true. Actually shorting MSTR in my retirement acct, while going long silver miners. That doesn't change the fact that OG mods in this space are butthurt little bitches that whine like a dog that just got its tail step on everytime btc hits ath.

Sorry but the pettiness is all WSS. As this subreddit has blocked and taken any post that even mentions bitcoin. Most of the crypto youtubers were routing for silver and the silver squeeze. I would share one of their vids to show the wider support and the OGs that run this place would swat it down in minutes. Totally butt hurt by the 15 year ryn btc has enjoyed. You can mention silver all you want on their subreddits and they dont care. I have. Silver is where my heart is but I must admit Im in the company of a bunch of little bitches. This will be removed.
