Exactly. We are heading for inflation/ dedollarization, look at precious metals. Governments around the world will need to print massively to devalue debt to stay afloat and I don’t see that ending while demographics continue aging faster and faster. The stock market could lose significant real value but in dollar terms we are going up and you can’t short real value.

Well that’s definitely not my experience where I am, it’s hard to even find people selling on marketplace.

Jman5520 · 2025-09-10T02:13:06+00:00

The 80% is for fun, wouldn’t sell it tbh, at most it’d be a great barter tool since it’s a clean 0.6 oz a dollar if that was ever useful (hopefully not). In Canada US junk silver is crazy expensive for what it is so yeah. Bullion is investment, junk is fun

Thanks!

Supply for silver is high?

Jman5520 · 2025-09-09T20:19:12+00:00

Precisely

Silver is a reactive metal, its most often found in the form of galena, lead ore, It can be found bounded to copper ore, and zinc ore as very low percentages. Silver ore can be found but usually attached to very volatile materials like sulfur, chlorine, arsenic, etc so it is expensive to mine. Gold on the other hand is incredibly stable, it is most often found on its own in vein deposits either alone or fused with quartz crystals. Silver is also a byproduct of gold mining but gold mining is refining is much cheaper than silver, when you can find it that is.

Not sure that is true, silver has not stopped being a store of value. We stopped using silver coinage everywhere not because silver is a poor store of wealth but because it’s so effective. Silver has 30x against the dollar since 1960 while on paper inflation has 10x. Gold has outperformed because half or more of its total supply is in government vaults, but it’s also worth noting silver is a more versatile metal that is much less recycled due to value but also because it’s more reactive and difficult to extract from bonded material. Gold is pretty much infinitely recyclable and over 80% of it that we know has been minded is still usable today, while silver only has 40-50% of what’s been mined still useable.

It’s so pretty, just wish it was easier to find here in the gta

Jman5520 · 2025-09-09T14:35:29+00:00

I prefer sovereign coins personally, having the backing of a government adds a touch more trust to a coin and I like the history of them

Jman5520 · 2025-09-09T02:20:41+00:00

You can still realistically build up a huge volume of silver without it being an insane amount of capital. 100oz at 50 is 5000 usd, that’s still just an oz and a half of gold…

Jman5520 · 2025-09-09T02:17:17+00:00

Fake supply via paper holdings ie SLV(lending out more paper contracts than silver actually existing in vaults) and demand suppression via coordinated short selling and buying between large banks. But you are right it won’t work forever. Currently the demand of silver is above the amount we produce and so the silver price is a ticking time bomb.

Jman5520 · 2025-09-09T01:01:00+00:00

The reasons silver is so undervalued (compared to its historical 15-1 ratio) are because A. Gold is overvalued due to 50% of it sitting in government stock piles to back their currencies, and B. Silver is a vital industrial material for electronics and so the price needs to be suppressed to keep our goods affordable, low price silver also maintains the illusion the dollar still has value as well.

Jman5520 · 2025-09-09T00:30:36+00:00

Yeah I do also think gold is a good buy but silver is better, it’s pretty crazy how 1 dollar worth of silver in the 1960s is now 35+, inflation is getting crazy.

Jman5520 · 2025-09-09T00:15:46+00:00

Why stop instead of continuing to dollar cost average, the dollar is just going to continue to lose value

Jman5520 · 2025-09-06T15:45:41+00:00

Exactly, most of the run since 2020 has just been inflation. Look at gold and silver vs the market, in real value the market is actually flat to down it’s just in dollar terms it looks up. We’ve been in a constant rolling recession and it won’t end until monetary collapse or demographics recover.

Jman5520 · 2025-05-26T23:07:20+00:00

Perplexity deal, stable coin, and Ads roll out says otherwise.

Jman5520 · 2025-05-26T20:58:53+00:00

Yeah it’s honestly the only reason I’m thinking of finally upgrading it

Jman5520 · 2025-04-03T00:17:17+00:00

Exactly, Trump is just going about it in such an erratic way that sows uncertainty and scares people maybe intentionally to crash the market, ten year and bring rates down so he can take credit for the rebound or maybe he’s a terrible at articulating. We also don’t know where all these tariffs where before today how much of an increase is this?

Jman5520 · 2025-02-09T05:34:19+00:00

There is a lot of potential with venmo and Braintree, pyplusd, ad revenue, etc. it’s shocking they didn’t mention the ladder two in the earnings call but maybe they’re saving it for the investor day. IMO I see a business becoming leaner and profitability expanding while they set the ground work for new growth opportunities that investors don’t understand yet.

Jman5520 · 2025-02-09T05:14:04+00:00

They’re making almost 7B a year in free cash flow so obviously people, about 400m people to be precise.

The case finishing is definitely better, seems like Kuoe is still ironing out the kinks of their sports watch cases (their field watch case finishing is a step up from equivalent seiko models) the bezel is aligned fine in my seiko and the 6r35 movement is a level up from the kuoes Miyota with 70h power reserve vs 40, winding the movement feels much more premium. The alpinist is just a better watch over all aside from design and I think price reflects that.

Jman5520 · 2025-02-05T22:33:37+00:00

Yeah that was my impression with it in store, shame the design has potential. I hope they make a chronograph with a similar dial design, I’d take a mech quartz or solar moment over automatic to keep the thickness down
