📜 History of Silver vs Gold
For centuries, the natural mining ratio between silver and gold held steady at 15:1—that is, 15 ounces of silver were pulled from the earth for every 1 ounce of gold. Coinage reflected this: $1 used to equal 0.78 oz of silver, holding close to that classic 15:1 value ratio.
Yet today, despite silver’s growing utility and shrinking availability, that ratio is wildly off.

📸 The Invisible Sinkhole: Photography & Electronics
The modern era changed everything. With the rise of photography, silver became industrial—every negative and print consumed silver, most of which was never recovered. It just went into the trash.
Later, the digital revolution kicked off another silver drain. From smartphones to servers, nearly every electronic device needs silver. But again, when tech becomes e-waste, its silver goes with it—discarded, not recycled.
Result: We’re losing silver faster than we’re mining it.

📦 Above-Ground Silver Crisis
"Above-ground silver" refers to silver that’s been mined and is still in human hands—coins, bullion, jewelry. For the first time in history, we now have less above-ground silver than gold.
💡 That means silver, if fairly priced, should now be worth more than gold.

💰 Silver Price Suppression
Currently, gold sits around $2,000/oz, while silver is just $27–$28/oz. If silver were priced at just 1/10th of gold, it should be $200+/oz. If 1:1, it would explode to $2,000–$2,800/oz.
The Mad Scientist Supreme predicts: 🧠

⚠️ Beware of “Paper Silver”
Many investment firms offer silver on paper but don’t actually own any. They charge you storage fees for nonexistent metal and only acquire it after redemption requests.
📢 Real strategy: Buy physical silver:
Pre-1964 U.S. coins (90% silver)
1 oz silver rounds & bars
Minted bullion from reputable sources
Avoid derivatives and synthetic promises.
