>Silver is the ultimate arbiter and if it were not suppressed people will see their livelihoods disappear.
What you write may have been true in the past, but something changed a few years ago: China started buying gold and silver. Because of the west --> east silver drain, they can no longer control the silver price LONG TERM. What they can do, and what we see them doing almost daily, is to dump paper silver during COMEX hours to kill momentum and to try and prevent a bull run in silver for as long as possible.

If the price difference between China and the west (COMEX/LBMA) gets higher than $2.00/oz for silver it becomes insanely profitable. You can easily put 500,000 oz (500 comex bars) into a standard shipping container. Shipping and insurance from London to Shanhai is under $100k. If there is a $2 dollar delta you've made a $900,000 profit on one container.

>The only problem is the nations savings will go poof and need to be rebuilt. It'll all go poof relative to the dollar. Being able to buy-in at the ground floor will confer an immense advantage to those with the metal.
You are 100% correct. People who have real money (gold/silver) will be extremely wealthy in the immediate aftermath of the dollar collapse. Literal rags to riches. By the way, it's happened before. After the Civil War in the USA, people who had gold and silver in the south, (Confederate money went to zero) instantly became extremely wealthy and if smart, could leverage that wealth into generational wealth.
