Good points. I believe the play here is breaking the manipulation and forcing a pivot from the paper silver as is underway with gold. Basel III incentivizes holding physical gold over paper gold by making physical Tier 1 (100% collateral) and paper gold Tier 3 (10% collateral). So literally a 10x incentive for bankers. I believe there is a Basel IV ruleset coming (2026 or 2027) that makes physical silver also Tier I. In the meantime it gets dragged upward by gold per July 1, 2025 Basel III rules being active in US for US-based bank operations.
Secondary play is hoarding physical so you have some for cool electric stuff that is coming. If you have physical you will probably be able to custom order (and acquire) advanced tech as it becomes available. Use your silver to get personal generators or free-energy capture devices, then you can run your own Bitcoin node at superlow cost to stack Bitcoin in addition to silver and gold.
