Silver has 10x more real-world utility than Gold 🔥
One could argue it should be priced higher.
Here’s why ⤵️
Silver is the most conductive metal for electricity and heat on Earth.
It’s essential for electronics, wiring, and industrial systems.
👉 TAM = Multi-trillion dollars
Silver is also critical for renewable energy.
Modern solar panels depend on silver paste for photovoltaic cells.
One of the fastest-growing sectors — and silver is right at the core.
People don’t realize this, but silver is deeply embedded in:
• Industrial electronics
• Semiconductors
• 5G infrastructure
Even giants like $NFT
rely on silver — and they will forever.
Silver also has antimicrobial & antibacterial properties.
Used in:
• Medical devices
• Wound dressings
• Water purification
• Antimicrobial coatings
These are functional roles gold does NOT fill.
A large portion of gold demand = jewelry + investment.
But a significant share of silver demand is industrial, where it’s:
• Consumed
• Dispersed
• Hard or impossible to recover
Meaning a lot of silver is effectively used up.
From a utility perspective, this alone justifies higher long-term value.
Now add macro pressure 👇
• China restricting silver exports from Jan 1, 2026
• Global silver demand already ~$200M higher than supply
Gold = store of value
Silver = value through utility
When I think of digital gold, I think Bitcoin.
Non-government, self-sovereign, scarce, immutable.
👉 $BTC
is the ultimate store of value
When I think of digital silver, a few things come to mind.
$ZEC
for example — high utility, scarce, private, self-sovereign.
I don’t think silver flippen gold.
I don’t think ZEC flips BTC.
But it’s fascinating to imagine a future where assets are priced by real-world utility, not vanity or mimetics.
Maybe I’m right-curving too hard 🤔
