Silver has 10x more real-world utility than Gold ๐ฅ
One could argue it should be priced higher.
Hereโs why โคต๏ธ
Silver is the most conductive metal for electricity and heat on Earth.
Itโs essential for electronics, wiring, and industrial systems.
๐ TAM = Multi-trillion dollars
Silver is also critical for renewable energy.
Modern solar panels depend on silver paste for photovoltaic cells.
One of the fastest-growing sectors โ and silver is right at the core.
People donโt realize this, but silver is deeply embedded in:
โข Industrial electronics
โข Semiconductors
โข 5G infrastructure
Even giants like $NFT
rely on silver โ and they will forever.
Silver also has antimicrobial & antibacterial properties.
Used in:
โข Medical devices
โข Wound dressings
โข Water purification
โข Antimicrobial coatings
These are functional roles gold does NOT fill.
A large portion of gold demand = jewelry + investment.
But a significant share of silver demand is industrial, where itโs:
โข Consumed
โข Dispersed
โข Hard or impossible to recover
Meaning a lot of silver is effectively used up.
From a utility perspective, this alone justifies higher long-term value.
Now add macro pressure ๐
โข China restricting silver exports from Jan 1, 2026
โข Global silver demand already ~$200M higher than supply
Gold = store of value
Silver = value through utility
When I think of digital gold, I think Bitcoin.
Non-government, self-sovereign, scarce, immutable.
๐
$BTC is the ultimate store of value
When I think of digital silver, a few things come to mind.
$ZEC for example โ high utility, scarce, private, self-sovereign.
I donโt think silver flippen gold.
I donโt think ZEC flips BTC.
But itโs fascinating to imagine a future where assets are priced by real-world utility, not vanity or mimetics.
Maybe Iโm right-curving too hard ๐ค
