The bubble on what will bust/peak? Silver?

Silver has been held artificially low for over 100 years, for bankster manipulations. There is a fundamental dilemma, with artifical lower prices, and manufacturers taking advantage of those prices to create a huge solar panel industry with silver that collapses when silver returns to its inherent value, as priced in fiat dollars. If the above ground supply of silver was distributed to each human, everybody would have 0.4 ounces. Figure that’s a lot less, given that governments and industry and banksters hold a large proportion. Silver is rare.... not like tulips, not like fiat, not like dollars.

So, to the question of what bubble peaks/bust, I’d say its the fiat currency bubble. It’s headed to 0 (financial reset), and will be replaced with a new system, as the old one has reached its end-of-life ($38T+ debt).

The old system (i.e., current system) is debt-based, and the next one will be asset based.

In addition, with the ever increasing demand for electronics and advancing technologies especially in batteries, silver for manufacturing is in more demand than ever. I don’t see the price going down at any point in the future.

As an example, Samsung is heavily investing in next-gen battery tech, primarily Solid-State Batteries for EVs (promising 600+ mile range, 9-min charges, safer, longer life, mass production targeted around 2027) and exploring Silicon Carbon/Stacking for smartphones (higher capacity in smaller spaces for devices like the Galaxy S26) to solve issues like swelling and improve density.

Key advancements include using silver-carbon anodes to prevent dendrites and boost performance for EVs, while SUS CAN tech is considered for phones to fix swelling.

Samsung’s new solid-state batteries (SSBs) use a silver-carbon composite in the anode, potentially requiring up to 5 grams of silver per battery cell, meaning a large EV battery pack (around 200 cells) could use roughly 1 kilogram (1000 grams) of silver per vehicle, a significant amount that could impact global silver supply.

1000 grams equals approx 35 ounces of silver per battery pack.

Technology manufacturing companies are going to demand the silver and pay whatever cost that’s necessary. It may get to the point that companies start buying their own small silver mining companies.

I was talking of Gold, but I should have been clear
