Under normal market conditions, the paper silver system functions smoothly:

• Futures markets offer leverage; physical silver cannot replicate this
  
• ETFs offer liquidity with instant entry/exit
  
• No shipping or insurance costs; storage fees are limited

Result: Paper silver often delivers cleaner, more efficient returns.

the paper silver system functions smoothly...

While severely debauching the physical uses and markets for the actual metal.

Consider that the paper market, with perhaps 300-400 paper ounces for each physical ounce, keeps the price extremely low. While this would seem to benefit manufactures creating solid state batteries, EVs, Military Industrial Complex missiles and weaponry and solar panels, it also stifles the minors now reluctant to pull the metal out of the ground and out of the mined ore.
