I feel that lead is as valuable as gold. Silver though... that's the people's money.
Why is gold so revered? It may be "rare" but is never really consumed like silver. Gold taken out of the ground is still above ground. Silver on the other hand is readily consumed and discarded. Thus increasing it's value. Reality should be closer to 2:1 vs the BS 80:1 ratio or whatever manipulated intrinsic value...
Try plating your audio/video plug connectors with lead. Trying using lead to complete your circuit boards. Perhaps I can interest you in a beautiful lead chain, or a lead ring for your significant other? You know lead is toxic and gold is inert?
I'm not even sure whay you mean by gold is not "consumed" like silver. Nearly every piece of electronics made contains gold. Sure, about 50% of the silver ever mined sits in landfills, but much of it has gold right next to it. Gold is about 1/8 as common as silver and has as many uses, plus some unique ones that silver does not. So it should realistically be closer to a 1:8 price ratio.
I challenge you to pull a raw piece of gold out of the ground and tell me that it is not a heck of a lot more special than lead.
I used to pretend that I liked silver more than gold too, before I actually learned about gold. I do think silver is highly undervalued and prices are majorly suppressed though.

Silver is used in today's tech
