This is the great vacuuming anon. They are mining the American masses. We are the last great source of easy to obtain silver available.
They can get it in exchange for worthless paper.
Once the easy picking dry up and they have to go into the ground again then the power dynamic has changed a bit.
Tptb have a choice, "mine the masses" by storming individual holdouts for a few 100 ozs every 200 houses, or offer a semi fair exchange.
It's simply cheaper to offer what people want.
It's all money and resource gathering. The reason we are arguing is because we are operating on different timelines.
You plan to sell or trade when the premium is on the purity.
I plan to sell or trade when the premium is on the weight.
My timeline is longer than yours, but my payout is also higher.
We are literally having the age old argument.
"Time in vs timing."
You win faster if you time things right, for example your silver is at a premium ATM.
But I always will win in the end because in the end it all comes down to "cost of extraction"
Whether it's extracting it from people or from the ground. It's been cheaper to extract it from people. That's why mining stopped.
I won't sell mine till it's cheaper to extract it from the ground. Then even my 90% will be at a emoum because 90% is a fuck ton more pure than the ore that comes out of the ground.
I refuse to be easier to mine for silver than fucking limestone and granite.
