I think the fact that years ago, everyone knows that solar energy requires massive amount of silver and yet silver failed to stage even a meaningful rally is quite bearish.
That has zero to do with it. The US produces BARELY ANY silver at all. They rigged the price of silver to both try and prop up the debt based scam dollar, plus it means the US pays nothing for all the silver it imports. It also means nations like Mexico give away some of their most precious assets for nothing. All that is now changing.
Many of these other nations they tried to impoverish on purpose started hoarding gold (like India and numerous arab states). So now there is no real incentive for organizations like the Pilgrim society to prop up gold and suppress silver. If anything, there's now more incentive to let silver rise and suppress gold. None of the world powers want places like India to all become millionaires overnight. That would just mean the other nations are their slaves, and why would anyone be a slave to India? The fact India has lots of gold means the price of gold is capped at a certain point but silver can moonshot.
Fort Knox doesn't have the gold there either and JP Morgan has acquired an enormous amount of silver on behalf of the US govt as part of their plan B, C, D, E, F, G when the monetary system blows up; that and strategic reserve. So as you can see, silver is not going to be suppressed much longer since there's no real reason to. When the metals sector breaks free, they aren't going to try and stop silver from ripping people's faces off.
Even China, which is on Silver Standard for a millennium and was one of the largest silver producer in the world (still is), doesn't care about silver.
There is a reason China now issues silver in the same acrylic, protective capsules as they do gold. You just haven't seen why yet.
Silver as well as all precious metals have a long future of suppression at least until full blockchain adoption is in place. By then only the inner party will be able to use their blockchain money for pm purchases so everyone will be happy by default.
You will learn not to even want it eventually, particularly when there is absolutely no way to use your tokens to get it and everyone you know was born in the same system.
