  • In this documentary on silver, we explore the science, mining methodology, history and future outlook on one of the world's oldest forms of money.
    Silver has been used as a form of currency by humanity throughout civilization, stretching back to the rise, and eventual fall, of the Roman Empire. Although most people tend to think of silver as gold’s poor sibling, the stunning truth is that silver is the second most used resource on planet earth, with only king oil standing above it in the commodity hierarchy.
    Silver plays a critical role in the construction of all kinds of infrastructure and is a key component in the generation of electricity. Suffice to say, without silver, we would live in a very different and probably less technologically advanced, world.
    On today’s episode, we set out to learn the origins and applications of silver. From the techniques of the silver mining profession, to the multitude of products made with silver, to the history of the collapse of Rome, under the weight of government counterfeiting, as they turned their back on silver.

    I love silver. Truly love it, and I am one of those few people who actually does not really care for the look of gold. But silver...that's the stuff there. The funny thing is it can be found in soooo many places that most people would never think of. I recovered a little over 1Kg of pure silver this summer all from scrap electronics I pulled from the garbage.. I literally produced silver from trash.

      Just look at our justice system, reinvented year after year. In the 1800s we didn't have gun violence, car theft, or delinquent teen criminal problems. No, we had laws and laws were enforced. Didn't matter if you were 12, or 21, or 86. If you stole someones ride (their lively hood, means of), that was death, public hanging, lynching what ever. Unless you were a real bad ass, you didn't do it. Laws were pretty simple and straight forward, you cause harm to others, we punish you a like amount. Nowthe cream puffs have over 50+ genders, sports without scores, eventually- equal wages for all, garbage man- rocket scientist- you get paid the same so no one has hurt feelings. You want feelings? I'll give your pampered ass some feelings! We'll always have criminals- that's a given. But, can the liberal, political, criminals have feelings BS? We had a criminal justice system that worked about as well as it could be done. Now, we ain't got shit, period. Spare the rod, spoil the child! Now we need a law -Spoiled child? - Punish the parents and there child.

    An extremely apt quote prior to the French revolution. When plunder becomes a way of life for a small group in a society, then over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.

    At the continuing 2:48 juncture in the video it was mentioned that Silver has the best electrical and thermal conductivity, which seems to be debatable in context of applicable electrical conductivity of elements, as the traditional scientific wisdom claims Gold to be the best conductor of electricity amidst the known elements in context of applications in electronic circuits. Thus would suggest clarity in this iteration by the video author. I like this channel and find the content a good attempt at documenting introductory commodity knowledge.

    It was actually 1964 was the last year for 90% silver quarters, dimes, and half dollars and 1969 was the last year that 40% silver half dollars were minted and put into circulation for the general public to use and by 1965 for quarters and dimes and by 1971 half dollars and dollars were minted out of nothing but worthless pot metal. But it was a great documentary good work.

    The Comex is being drained at an alarming rate. "Paper Silver" is being traded at around 250 to every 1 physical ounce.
