yep china achieved the impossible, not the banks cheating

definitely

Did some minor research on this a few weeks ago.

Synthetic gold or silver is impractical. It is many thousand time more expensive to produce than mined product.

I smell a whole lot of BS in this story. The reason gold and silver tanked yesterday is because the big banks went short silver several months ago and as the price rises they are having to cope with the margin calls on thousands of contracts. That is billions of dollars the banks are having to pony up for being short silver.

My heart bleeds for their forecasting of markets., NOT! They were very cognizant of what could happen IF the price of silver were to spike. They intentionally drove the down to make money on their short positions but somehow Joe Public began holding their silver stash and that put pressure on the COMEX to begin releasing their silver reserves to cover long contracts that were due. Which in turn began a shortage of silver which then pushed the price up. Big banks got caught holding short positions and now they are panicking because they are running out of money due to the margin calls.

That and China has stopped shipping silver out of country. Yea, you can send it there to be processed, but you cannot get it out because of this new law.

I now believe this BS story about making fake gold and silver is just another scare tactic to force mom and pop silver holders to begin selling their holdings, now, before the price drops to a few dollars. The story is simple market manipulation.

A guy on YouTube, Sreetips, has been harvesting pure silver from DIY silver cells for years. That being said, China could do that on an industrial scale...

As for gold, I haven't seen anything about a gold cell.

BS!!!

Only a super Nova would be able to fuse or separate atomic particles to create silver or gold. This is pure b.s.

Plutonium is considered a man made element. Gold and silver can be created by bombarding elements of lower atomic weights with to change the nucleus of the bombarded element into gold or silver. The problem is that the cost would be more than the gains.

Question: Does the lab grown diamonds have the same value as real diamonds?

This has been possible for a while. Just no way to do it at scale

You basically just recreate a star collapsing and it combines elements into heavier ones. Basic science

I seriously do not believe that China has developed synthetic gold or silver. Take reports of tech breakthroughs coming out of China with a huge grain of salt. They are the country of fakes and facades. Even though they steal technology, they often lack the capacity to copy the metallurgy of the materials - especially for defense purposes.

The Chinese however, have mastered fake gold and silver so well that institutions and other experts are fooled - even with sophisticated on site methods of testing for purity. The only sure way to check the purity is by spectroscopic analysis. But that requires a lab and is too costly for most consumers. Every bar would have to be individually tested. There currently is a high percentage of fake gold and silver circulating throughout the Chinese market and people and institutions are getting burned especially with the recent price increases - a huge incentive for scammers. I have no doubt some of that fake gold and silver has made its way here. Buyer beware and know who you are purchasing from.

ORMES.

This is probably about fake stuff in the stacks.

Alchemy becomes real? Once we are able to manufacture elements, we will have no lack of anything material.
