Silver: Is it Too Late to Jump on Board?
You might want to keep an eye on McEwen Mining.
Silver and gold. Really, the two... although often lumped together as "precious metals" are quite dissimilar. Despite what Yukon Cornelius told you as a child. Both have been used on and off as a form of money throughout human history. Store of value? Check. Divisible? Check. Medium of exchange? At times, but not broadly. Bitcoin would have to answer the same questions in the same way.
Both are scarce enough to be valuable, while common enough to find broad use across the human experience for a number of other reasons. Those reasons vary. Gold is considered beautiful, as well as ornamental. Silver is far more useful as an industrial commodity. What they both have in common is an inverse relationship to the U.S. dollar. Think endless deficit spending will damage the U.S. dollar? Think that what looks like "Modern Monetary Theory" now stares us in the face? Well, the value of a U.S. dollar long since left backed by nothing but the confidence of those using the fiat, could ultimately face a time of intense challenge.
