Silver was $80/ounce in 1980. That is like $3000/ounce today. But now Silver is $17/ounce.
All the signs that Bitcoin is going the Silver way. It was declared that Silver will be precious metal and it will be traded on buying and selling and also speculations/predicting events because silver has many uses in Industries, electronics (TVs, computers etc..), a cruise missile has 16 kgs silver that is the reason major war takes Silver price to new highs.
Now Bitcoin has been declared as a speculative asset by governments (deal at your own risk).
Incomparable story it is. You should not compare crypto with physically exist metal. Silver can not be accepted on every shop or between companies as a source of payment but Bitcoin is using. Bitcoin is far away different from silver and you can only compare the crypto with crypto but if look into crypto currencies there is no such currency that can be compared with Bitcoin. Bitcoin is unique in all proportions.
