Date: January 23rd, 2026 1:53 PM Author: gunneratttt gives free BJs to brocolli haired zoom (gunneratttt) i avoid significant investments in things that have little intrinsic value and the price is based purely on speculation. i do have some silver but the rise in price makes me want to sell it, not buy more.

Date: January 23rd, 2026 1:59 PM Author: Gay Grandpa Same could have been said about literally any asset that skyrocketed in the last 10 years (makes me wonder why you call this "speculation" instead of just repricing) I mean real estate speculation means homes in decent places are 2M dollars anymore, thats just what they are worth in dollars and unless half the money out there just burns up tomorrow, that will never change (not getting cheaper, anyway). Its been hashed out pretty good on XO that intrinsic value vs speculative value is a meaningless distinction. |

Date: January 23rd, 2026 2:13 PM Author: gunneratttt gives free BJs to brocolli haired zoom (gunneratttt) it's not a meaningless distinction at all. buying a bond and holding it to maturity is not speculative. you're not relying on marketplace demand for appreciation. speculating is buying something because you hope to be able to sell it for a higher price in the future. investing is buying something that you think will be reliably or more productive in the future and you may never hope to sell it.

Date: January 23rd, 2026 3:00 PM Author: Dagoth Ur lol buying a bond right now is literally gambling that the dollar wont lose 20% of its purchasing power before the bond matures. if inflation is higher than your coupon rate you are locking in a guaranteed loss. that is the opposite of safe.
also silver is "productive." it conducts electricity. industry literally cannot produce goods without it. by his definition buying oil is speculation because you hope to sell it to a refinery.
u are confusing "productive asset" with "financial derivative." buying physical materials that industry is desperate for is called procurement, not gambling. |

Date: January 23rd, 2026 3:02 PM Author: Gay Grandpa "buying a bond right now is literally gambling that the dollar wont lose 20% of its purchasing power before the bond matures" This was obvious, how does he respond to that? Intuitively i know that every investment is speculative and thank you for backing me up |

Date: January 23rd, 2026 3:17 PM Author: gunneratttt gives free BJs to brocolli haired zoom (gunneratttt) he's talking about why one might buy a bond right now, im talking about the concept of buying a bond generally. i just used a bond as an example. take the usd out of the equation -- what if i gave you a secured, non-transferable loan of 10 wigits today in exchange for 12 wigits next year, and both of us expect the price of wigits to remain stable? im not specating on the price of wigits going up nor am i specjlating on your ability to repay because the note is secured. that would be a pure investment.
few things are either pure investments or speculation. all im saying is i tend not to put money in things are are overlu speculative. there is a difference. |

Date: January 23rd, 2026 2:17 PM Author: gunneratttt gives free BJs to brocolli haired zoom (gunneratttt) i said "little" instead of "no" to get ahead of this sophistry. silver isn't skyrocking because the demand for it's actual use has skyrocked.

Date: January 23rd, 2026 2:34 PM Author: Dagoth Ur *leans into mic* The high-tech future devices are all using more & more silver. That's why CHINA is hoarding it. It is the SPICE of space age civilization. AI datacenters need it--particularly for space concepts. China is hoarding it for their solar panel industry. It's used for many missile systems.
New Samsung batteries use ~1kg of Ag https://www.nature.com/articles/s41560-020-0575-z
HJT (Heterojunction) solar panels use 22 mg/Watt
It has a very low recycle rate and just in time refined supply is being consumed more & more by industry. Prices were kept artificially low during peak globalism circle jerking to facilitate trade. |

Date: January 23rd, 2026 2:50 PM Author: gunneratttt gives free BJs to brocolli haired zoom (gunneratttt) note that your article is from 2020.
i am very aware of the how and why silver is used in technology. that doesn't change the fact that it's price rapidly appreciating is due to speculation, not increased demand for its use as a material. |

Date: January 23rd, 2026 2:58 PM Author: Dagoth Ur that 2020 paper was just the concept. samsung built the actual pilot line in 2023 and mass production starts in 2027.
they need that 1kg spec to make the battery stable.
we have been in a physical deficit for 7 years and inventories are down 800m ounces. the burn rate is higher than the mine rate |
