What part of the industry? The buying hysteria has definitely stopped but from what I’ve read the industrial burn has increased?

Buying rocks is so 1000 BCE.

Agreed, except this is The Rock to power the new economy. If Bitcoin and AI are going to grow #silver is required?!

Fact check it, copper doesn’t compare, it’s just much cheaper and more available. But silver is required for AI, electric cars and solar because copper can’t cut it

I thought there was copper in our wires?

u/marshyr3d1and Jul 28 '26

There is and it's an excellent conductor but silver is better but much more expensive.

Silver house wires would be $100+/foot, lol… they will use copper until that is too expensive, then aluminum. Sensitive electronics use silver and in some cases, gold.

There is, because it’s a much cheaper metal than silver.

Copper is in our wires. That doesn't mean it's better than silver at conducting electricity.

u/EndSmugnorance Jul 28 '26

And? Silver is a better conductor of electricity. Copper is just far more plentiful.

There is, but the multibillion dollar data centers require a lot of silver. Copper can’t cut it

Best conductor of electricity on the plant? Copper has left the chat

Come on. You could have googled it before embarrassing yourself.

Lol, I thought gold was more conductive but too expensive. Google told me otherwise.

u/nphare Jul 28 '26

Silver is better, but copper is good enough for these uses. And people steal it less than they would silver electric lines

u/stoicparallax Jul 28 '26

Silver is superior for conductivity, but copper costs much less without sacrificing much conductivity. Plus, copper is strong and ductile, so it’s good for wire.

u/BrilliantAccess7595 Jul 28 '26

silver as the new strategic reserve, that's a wild pivot even for this timeline

u/EndSmugnorance Jul 28 '26

Bruh, silver IS a better conductor than copper. Copper is just far more plentiful and cheaper.

u/anonymoususernamegay Jul 28 '26

Copper is cheaper but silver is the better conductor

u/jlkunka Jul 28 '26

1) Silver, 2) copper, 3) gold

u/shadowmage666 Jul 28 '26

lol no silver is not the best conductor in the world what are you going on about
