If Silver really went anywhere near $2k / oz, plan on everyone melting down their tv's and phones and any other gadgets that have silver in them. All these solar panels everywhere.......imagine how much those would be worth melted down.
You'd have to sell phones, tvs, etc for at LEAST the price of the silver contained in them, which would make them insanely expensive. Then people will just go melt them down anyway.
You can't even keep people from stealing copper Tesla charging cables, and copper is cheap AF by comparison.
Just my own thought. Maybe Im way off.
Honestly, though, Im perfectly happy to go back to the stone age with stacks of silver in my cave.
So if all the manipulation were suddenly removed, what would the real price of silver be? Anyone?
IDK. Might ruin technology as we know it.

Perhaps it is a good idea.
Yeah. The amount of silver in a 5G tower? Those won't last. Tesla/EV motors? There's like 5lbs of silver in each motor. Gone!
"Copper thieves" will surely become "silver thieves" overnight and nothing infrastructure-related that has any melt value, will be safe.
This would make a used Tesla worth something! LMAO
