Huge SILVER Update 🦍🦍 You Need to HEAR This! (Gold Price Inside + China NEWS) · SILVER / GOLD / $UFD: Surviving Global Economic Shifts | RONS BASEMENT

0:01
We have more big, major stories that are going to impact the
0:04
gold and silver market. We're going to cover them all
0:06
today in this live stream. We're going to start with gold
0:09
and look at some incredible data that goes back to other big
0:12
rallies and why we could only be getting started right now.
0:17
In this gold rally, we're going to talk about the world's
0:20
biggest buyer of gold and why that might just be a little bit
0:23
shocking to you. We're going to touch on the
0:25
miners. We're going to look at more
0:27
crazy price predictions. It's coming at us every everyday
0:30
from everywhere. Price predictions, not only for
0:33
2026, but together. We're also going to hear about
0:37
some long term price predictions that are sure to put a big smile
0:41
on our faces. And most importantly, we're
0:44
going to talk about China and silver.
0:47
Why is China doing what they're doing with silver in the data
0:52
that we have to look at today is astounding, OK, what they're
0:56
doing, but also why they're doing it.
0:59
It's all going to make sense. And then of course, the top five
1:03
big reasons, crazy to think about these five reasons why
1:06
silver looks good not only for the next year, but probably the
1:10
next 10 to 20 years. Let's get started with gold.
1:14
Jordan Roy Byrne is, in my opinion, he's one of the most
1:18
entertaining, but also one of the smartest analysts out there
1:21
when it comes to looking at what is happening in the gold and
1:27
silver arena. Sorry, I'm getting off a phone
1:29
call there from my sister. We're going to pull up Jordan
1:33
Roy Byrne and listen to what he says about what's happening
1:37
right now in the gold market. That's similar to other post
1:42
breakout corrections. Listen to this closely and then
1:45
I'll give you my thoughts. So again, we're looking at the
1:50
first major correction post breakout, the three major
1:53
breakouts on the same scale. And we also have an average
1:58
here. And so we can see this is where
2:01
they bought them. Both of those corrections in
2:03
terms of time, they actually bought them right here and right
2:05
here. So we are looking late June as
2:08
far as a potential bottom. Now this is just a guide.
2:11
Maybe we see a bottom in early June and maybe we see a bottom
2:13
in early July. But this is a guide that informs
2:16
us how long these corrections typically last.
2:18
And this is where we are here and now.
2:21
Now in the late 60's, the secular bull in the S&P, the
2:24
stock market, the Dow, you know why they ended.
2:26
There wasn't some big crash. It was because, and remember we
2:29
were in an inflationary era. It was because you had a
2:30
breakout in the 30 year yield that led to the end of the
2:34
secular bull market in the S&P. Oh, and look right here, this is
2:37
a 30 year yield. And look at this, this is
2:40
threatening a move up like that. OK.
2:42
So if we see this, this is going to trigger the end of the
2:46
secular bull in the stock market, OK.
2:48
I just want to go back and point out on his chart again, guys, we
2:56
are right about bottom in early June, Maybe we see a bottom in
3:01
early July. But watch my pointer if you can
3:04
right there. What he's pointing out and what
3:07
I saw, which I thought was a great piece of analysis.
3:09
Thank you, Jordan. Roy Byrne is that, yes.
3:12
Think about it, anytime there's a big breakout in the price of
3:15
anything, whether you're talking about gold, a stock, silver over
3:19
real estate, anything, there will always be a pullback.
3:22
And you look at that pullback in gold in particular compared to
3:27
what happened after previous pullbacks, right?
3:30
We are at a point now where if we follow what what's happened
3:34
in the past, we could be in for some very good moves in the gold
3:37
price. Let's talk about the gold.
3:38
Let's talk about silver in a chart and the gold to silver
3:41
ratio because Rashad shared this one with us.
3:45
And I think it shows us something very interesting.
3:47
And right, we can't resist yet another silver $300 prediction.
3:52
This is about the gold to silver ratio.
3:55
It's a continuation triangle and it's about to break down.
3:58
Now, remember, when the gold to silver ratio breaks down, that
4:03
measures the number of Oz of silver that it takes to get one
4:06
ounce of gold. When that goes down, that means
4:09
that the price of silver relative to gold goes up.
4:12
The gold price can continue to go up, right?
4:15
Which we like we just saw. We're optimistic and realistic
4:19
and thinking can happen. But if the gold to silver ratio
4:23
compresses at the same time, it's like a double whammy.
4:27
It's like a slingshot move. I've heard Michael Oliver talk
4:30
about that before in the price of silver, OK, Rashad says.
4:35
I expected to reach the 30 level by late summer.
4:39
Minimum gold target $7000. So he's talking about gold going
4:44
up. Minimum gold to silver target 30
4:48
= a minimum silver target of $230.
4:52
If gold goes to $7500, which doesn't seem out of the realm of
4:58
possibilities at this point, and the gold to silver ratio goes to
5:01
25, excuse me, Silver could then reach $300 per oz.
5:08
Let's take a look at his chart and see why he's saying that
5:11
again, right? There's the wedge pattern.
5:15
Now, as you can see, we went into that wedge pattern.
5:19
This is the gold to silver ratio in a downtrend, which makes it
5:24
more likely that when it breaks out, this is going to break out
5:28
either up, which would be bad for the silver price relative to
5:31
gold or down toward like he's saying toward 30.
5:36
That would be good. Now, typically with wedge
5:39
patterns, they they resolve themselves, typically speaking,
5:44
not always in the same direction as to what they what, what, what
5:49
the price movement was going into it, which again is to the
5:53
downside right there. Let's move on here to the
5:56
world's biggest. This is crazy and this is very
6:00
important. Do you know who's becoming the
6:04
world's biggest buyer of gold? It's a very unlikely source in
6:10
one that is like still flying under the radar.
6:12
Most people aren't recognizing the potential of this.
6:16
It is. Well, without further ado, let
6:18
me pull up a piece of information that we have from
6:22
Mr. Vince Lancey. Tether Gold Tethers gold hoard
6:27
nears 20 billion as buying spree continues Tether Tethers
6:32
Holdings SA bought more than 6 tons of gold for its reserves in
6:37
the first three months of the year.
6:40
Look at this chart. OK says Tether has become and
6:44
this is sources Tether and Bloomberg, one of the world's
6:47
biggest gold holders. OK, the top chart shows their
6:51
gold reserves in dollars. OK, the bottom shows their gold
6:56
reserves in ton tons. Whose tether?
7:00
Tether is a huge crypto company. What's Tether doing?
7:04
Tether is tokenizing gold. They have a product called XAUT.
7:09
You don't have to like crypto. You don't have to like
7:11
blockchain. You can be a pure if I don't
7:14
hold it, I don't own it type person.
7:17
That's great. OK, I understand.
7:19
But that what you can be excited about with what Tether is doing.
7:24
Tethers not creating digital gold.
7:26
OK, that's a big misnomer. That's a big misnaming of what's
7:30
going on. Tether is buying physical gold,
7:35
right? They're becoming one of the
7:36
world's biggest buyers of physical gold.
7:38
They put that physical gold in a vault in Switzerland.
7:42
It's audited now by a BIG4 accounting firm.
7:45
So they're buying physical gold, putting it in a vault, and then
7:50
they tokenize it. They don't tokenize it.
7:52
They don't create digital gold. That's, again, a big misnomer,
7:57
right? They buy physical gold and after
8:00
that they then tokenize it. It's not unlike, you know,
8:04
people keeping their dollars in a bank, which I'm not.
8:06
You know, we won't go down that path, but everybody has to do
8:09
it. It's there, OK?
8:11
It's not unlike, you know, people that, that say it's
8:14
digital gold are really misnaming it.
8:17
It's tokenized gold. It's a real world.
8:19
They can't create the token until they have the gold.
8:23
Again, I'm not trying to talk you into liking it, but what I'm
8:26
telling you is that is the future in a lot of ways because
8:30
people all over the world love gold and people all over the
8:34
world love to be able to, you know, if you're a, if you're a,
8:37
a poor person in a unsafe country, you probably don't want
8:41
to walk around with an ounce of gold or 1/2 ounce of gold or
8:44
1/10 of an ounce of gold. They like the fact that they can
8:47
have it stored in a vault in Switzerland, right?
8:50
That does a really good job of storing and securing gold and
8:55
they can hold the, the token with them.
8:57
There's a lot of benefits really actually, if you look into it,
9:01
just my opinion of the tokenization of gold.
9:05
And for silver, there's a lot. It really bridges the gap
9:08
between physical ownership and digital ownership.
9:11
And guys, it's also going to be a massive source of demand in
9:15
the next 10 years for silver as well.
9:18
No one's really had a huge amount of success yet tokenizing
9:23
silver. But again, the key thing is to
9:25
remember, to remember here is they can't create the token
9:29
until they already have the physical gold or silver.
9:32
So that requires them to buy large amounts of gold.
9:36
And Tether is becoming one of the world's largest buyers and
9:40
holders of gold. We saw stats not too long ago
9:44
saying that outside of central banks, I think it was in March
9:48
or maybe the first quarter, they were the world's largest buyer
9:51
of physical gold. It's exciting and again, it's
9:55
kind of like when the ETFs came around.
9:57
And again, you can like or dislike the ETFs, but it is
10:01
widely recognized that when the gold and silver ETFs came on the
10:04
scene, they created a huge amount of demand for the
10:08
physical metal as well. What about Deutsche Bank?
10:11
Let's talk a little more about gold.
10:13
Then we got some crazy information about China.
10:16
We're going to get to a little bit later.
10:17
And silver, but Deutsche Bank $14,000 gold.
10:22
I apologize to you. Yesterday we talked about their
10:27
$8000 gold call, but but buried in that report was also a
10:32
potential that they pointed out for $14,000 gold.
10:35
Before we do that. Speaking of gold, thank you to
10:38
1st Mining Gold for sponsoring Ron's basement.
10:41
They are a Canadian gold development stage company. 2
10:45
huge multi million ounce projects in Canada, Spring Pole
10:49
and on Ontario and Du Parquet located in Quebec.
10:52
There aren't a lot of big multi million ounce projects in good
10:57
jurisdictions like Canada and 1st Mining Gold is doing a great
11:02
job of moving theirs through the development stage.
11:05
You can learn more about them at firstmininggold.com.
11:07
Out to Deutsche Bank and $14,000 gold.
11:11
This came from William Middlecoup who shared with us
11:17
the Deutsche Bank is the first major bank to agree that gold
11:21
could go to $14,000 per oz. What?
11:25
What's the scenario? It's where emerging market
11:28
countries like bricks flee towards gold.
11:32
Imagine what would happen if Western countries did the same.
11:36
So this is just looking at emerging market economies, OK?
11:41
And all across the top this that would represents the share of
11:44
gold in emerging markets as as a percentage of total reserves if
11:50
it got to 40%. And on the left side, it looks
11:54
at their emerging market at the amount that they're keeping in
11:59
FX reserves. If that went to looks like US10
12:04
trillion, OK, we would get over here in a gold price of $14,000.
12:14
Now, again, guys, that's hard data presented by the massive
12:20
German bank, Deutsche Bank, and we know what's happening in the
12:24
world right now with the BRICS countries.
12:26
We know that geopolitically and financially, the world is
12:30
changing like never before. The world is not getting along
12:34
right now like no other time in our history when the world
12:37
doesn't get along. The reason why that's important
12:40
for gold and silver investors, they don't trust each other.
12:43
Oh, and guess what? When they don't trust each
12:45
other, they don't trust each other's currencies, which are
12:48
just a promise. That's all they are.
12:51
They're not backed by gold. And where are they going?
12:54
We know the hard data. They're going to gold.
12:56
It'd be like if you had a neighbor that you didn't trust
12:59
and he asked if he could borrow $10,000 from you.
13:02
You're probably not going to give it to him, right?
13:05
Especially if he has a history of not paying you back in the
13:07
past. So these numbers that are coming
13:10
from a major German bank are not out of the question is we're
13:16
witnessing a world where big central banks, but also more and
13:21
more people are are moving to protect themselves with gold and
13:25
silver. Let's talk about the miners.
13:27
Why is it important that we talk about the mining sector?
13:30
Because it is yet to be recognized, yet to be rewarded
13:34
for the incredible amount of profits that they are making.
13:38
But why is that important to people that hold physical gold
13:41
and silver? Because when the market wakes up
13:44
to what's going on in the mining sector, it's going to bring more
13:48
and more eyeballs, more and more money into the overall precious
13:52
metals ecosystem. And this data is really, it's
13:57
flabbergasting to read this. This is from Tavi Costa, the
14:04
man, the myth, the legend. He says a new era for mining.
14:07
Miners are generating roughly 7 times what they did at the peak
14:12
of the last cycle. OK, he says.
14:15
I'm old enough to remember when this space was considered
14:18
uninvestable by the so-called experts.
14:21
But wait, there's a lot more that's going on right now as
14:24
well. But when we take a look, excuse
14:27
me, at his chart, here we are today.
14:32
OK, this is this is gold and silver miners total free cash
14:37
flow aggregate is a fancy way to say total.
14:41
We keep things simple down here in the basement.
14:44
Here we are right now look at that green bar.
14:47
OK, this is what he's talking about.
14:49
This is 2011 when the silver price at $50 per oz.
14:54
That was the amount of cash, free cash flow being generated.
14:57
Then currently, we are at 7 times more free cash flow being
15:02
generated in the mining sector. But it gets even more
15:07
interesting when we go to this from Resource Alpha.
15:12
Mining companies are turning into absolute cash printers
15:16
right now, and we'll just go down directly to the chart.
15:24
He talks about Newmont with gold at 4000.
15:30
We got it up. Yes, we do.
15:31
Gold at $4700, OK. That's the price of gold.
15:35
That's what they can sell their gold at.
15:37
Their average all in sustaining cost.
15:40
This is what it costs them to dig up.
15:42
An ounce of gold is less than $1300.
15:47
That means for each ounce of gold that they're bringing out
15:50
of the ground, they're generating $3400 in free cash
15:56
flow cash, OK, they can sell that gold.
15:59
There's always a customer for gold.
16:00
That's an interesting thing a lot of people don't think about
16:03
with mining companies. They don't have to worry about
16:06
customers. They, they can, they can always
16:11
sell their gold and always sell their silver.
16:14
They don't have, they have to worry about customer service or
16:16
anything like that. OK, silver, it's $75 per oz.
16:21
Miners are generating, generating 70 to 150 percent,
16:24
150% higher free cash flow between 6:00, about $60.00
16:30
profit per oz because their average all in sustaining cost,
16:34
what it cost the silver miner to get an ounce of silver out of
16:38
the ground is between 14 and $18.00 per oz.
16:42
So if it's costing them $15.00 an ounce to dig up an ounce of
16:47
silver and it takes a lot of work, it's a big deal.
16:50
But none the less, and they're selling it for $75.
16:54
The silver miner is making $60.00 per oz.
16:59
And right now we're starting to see it's beginning to happen,
17:04
right. Big attention to the the gold
17:07
and silver sector. William Middlecoup brings up Are
17:10
you ready for the mining super cycle?
17:13
He says we are in. This looks like it comes from
17:16
Reuters. Big funds bet billions on a
17:19
mining super cycle, it says. Major fund managers are
17:23
heralding A sustained rally in mining and metals as money
17:28
floods into the sector at the fastest pace in years, driven by
17:35
robust AI infrastructure, rising defense spending and a shift
17:40
away from expensive tech stocks. Guys, they're going to be,
17:44
there's going to be a flood of money coming into the mining
17:50
sector, which will be good for the overall precious metals
17:54
sector. OK, next we're going to go look
18:00
at, oh, some crazy price predictions.
18:04
You guys love them. I love them.
18:06
And it's not so crazy when we look at who's saying these
18:09
predictions for the price of gold and silver.
18:12
And then we're going to look at what's going on with China and
18:14
silver, some astonishing news, why China's doing what they're
18:18
doing OK, and what it means for the silver price.
18:20
Before we do that, thank you to first met.
18:23
If you want to get your hands on some silver right now, there's
18:26
no better choice than first met. Here's their their Buffalo round
18:31
the backside with what I think. I just absolutely, we love that
18:35
Indian. Here's the front side of it.
18:39
OK, it's a beautiful Buffalo round.
18:42
But what's unique about First Mint is that they're owned by
18:46
First Majestic Silver, Keith Neumeyer's massive silver mining
18:50
company. So they mine the silver in
18:53
Mexico, send it to Las Vegas, NV.
18:56
That's where First Mint is located.
18:58
They create these incredible silver bullion products and then
19:01
they go straight to you. It's the only source where you
19:05
can get silver from the mine to the mint delivered right to your
19:09
doorstep, all at a great price, all with great customer service.
19:14
And these are really world class silver bullion products.
19:17
And to make it even better, there's a little discount code
19:20
that you can use. VIPRB, very important person,
19:25
Ron's basement. Thank you, First Mint, for
19:27
sponsoring Ron's placement. Let's get into these incredible
19:31
gold and silver price predictions because these are
19:35
the big names, the big boys. Resource Alpha points out that
19:42
Wall Street is finally catching up.
19:44
This is Wall Street. Here are the latest 2026.
19:48
This is These are predictions for this year, gold and silver
19:53
price targets. Excuse me, gold JP Morgan $6300
19:59
UBS, right? The giant Swiss bank 6200
20:04
possibly going as high as 7200, Wells Fargo 61 to 6300, Deutsche
20:12
Bank as high as 6000. But we know long term they're
20:16
saying we could go as high as 14,000.
20:19
Goldman Sachs on the low end at 5400 and think about that.
20:23
We won't. We wouldn't be like too crazy
20:26
upset if we got $5400 gold and Steve Hankey, the man the myth 6
20:32
to 7000 silver bowl case, Bank of America 135 to $309 per oz.
20:40
Citigroup with their 200,000 plus employees throughout the
20:44
world, $150.00 and Keith Neumeyer, right, the founder of
20:49
of of First Majestic Silver and 1st Mining Gold between 100 and
20:54
$130.00 per oz. This isn't about expensive
20:58
commodities. This is about collapsing Fiat
21:02
currencies. And there's the same list that
21:04
we just read through right there.
21:10
And again, he points out a very important point.
21:13
This isn't about gold and silver skyrocketing in value, although
21:18
I believe they will, right, in real value.
21:21
This is about price measured in U.S. dollars, and it's more
21:24
about the US dollar losing value.
21:27
But don't forget, right, we got to cover the 300 Club because we
21:31
got a lot of people out there still calling for $300 plus
21:34
silver. Michael Oliver.
21:36
David Hunter, who's calling for $180 silver soon, but then $300
21:45
in the coming years after that or higher.
21:48
Alice there, Alice, Alice there. McLeod, Egon, Van Geyers, Matt
21:53
Pipenberg, they've mentioned 300, four, $100 silver.
21:57
The market sniper, We listened to him yesterday and of course,
22:00
our friend Rashad. Now let's talk about what is
22:04
going on with China. China is setting the tone.
22:09
China has become the new price setter for silver.
22:13
We've got some crazy data to look at.
22:16
Let's start by watching a couple short videos.
22:20
This first one is from Jesse Day's Commodity Culture, OK, and
22:26
it features Clive Thompson and talks about why China is doing
22:31
why. This is first the why why China
22:34
is doing what they're doing with Silver's about one minute long.
22:38
Move to restrict. Or, or rather, control silver
22:41
exports is reflecting A broader push towards.
22:47
Hold on here, guys. There we go.
22:51
Sorry about that. Now I give you Clive from the
22:55
very beginning. Chinas move to restrict.
22:58
Or, or rather control silver exports, UH is reflecting A
23:02
broader push towards UH resource.
23:04
Security for China itself, they want to make sure that they can
23:08
get their. Hands on that resource.
23:10
If and when they need it, hence the fact that companies who will
23:12
export and only a few can export will need permission.
23:15
So it's serving from Chinas point of view, both as ensuring
23:19
that the industrial needs can be met, but also it's serving as a
23:23
kind of monetary hedging. The more silver they've got, the
23:27
less they need to hold other currencies like dollar.
23:29
And we're in a world where we all know that every currency on
23:33
the planet to some extent is being debased, particularly the
23:35
Well, I see, I don't want to say particularly the.
23:37
Dollar because the dollar. Is in the middle of the bunch,
23:39
but we know that the currency are being debased, so why
23:41
wouldn't you? Hold a precious metal.
23:43
Something which is in the long run going to hold its value and
23:46
obviously appear to have risen in value because the price or
23:49
the value of money is going down.
23:51
So it's basically it's both their protecting themselves to
23:55
make sure they got it when they need it for industrial use and
23:57
while they're waiting they're using it to as a sort of
24:01
monetary alternative. I mean, doesn't that make total
24:04
sense, right? So China needs a huge wait till
24:07
you see we got data. We're going to look at the
24:08
amount of silver that they're using over the last 10 years.
24:12
And it's mind blowing, but they need it for their industry.
24:15
They need the silver, but at the same time they're using it as a
24:20
monetary hedge against the US dollar.
24:23
They're selling U.S. Treasuries right now.
24:26
They know the writing's on the wall for the US dollar.
24:30
So they can use it As for their physical needs because they need
24:33
a ton of silver. But at the same time, the double
24:36
positive the the extra added bonus is they can use it as a
24:41
hedge. They can use it as a excuse me
24:45
way to protect themselves against the dollar going down in
24:50
value. Now we got another video.
24:58
This one comes from Felix, Felix Praying, who's super widely
25:04
followed. And listen to what he says about
25:07
what, what, why China's doing what they're doing with silver.
25:22
As of the beginning of this year, China, as your president
25:25
says, replaced its 25 year old silver export system with a
25:31
very, very tight licensing machine.
25:34
So in plain English, silver doesn't leave China the way it
25:37
used to. Only a handful of approved firms
25:40
can export, and China isn't just a consumer of silver.
25:45
Chinese refiners write this down.
25:47
If you if you want to have one piece of data from this video,
25:50
write this down. Chinese refiners handle an
25:52
estimated 60 to 70% of the world's refined silver exports.
25:59
So when China closes the door, the rest of the world fields
26:02
every solar factory of electronics plan, every juror
26:05
outside of China suddenly asked to compete with their domestic
26:09
industry. So that's rule #1.
26:12
And then we have rule #2 rule, rule change #2 and it's even
26:16
more direct. It's the perfect companion to
26:19
the first one. OK, so that's why China is
26:25
restricting exports, right? China does also refine 60 to 70%
26:31
of the world silver. And this next day that we're
26:33
going to look at is going to show us in no uncertain terms
26:36
why that's the case. And then we're going to pull it
26:39
all together. Check this chart out.
26:44
Eric Yuong, King Kong 9888 shares with us.
26:48
We'll just go to the orange part.
26:51
It's estimated the total China net physical usage, solar panels
26:56
and DVS, just those two sectors between 2005 and 2025 S Over a
27:04
20 year period for solar panels, they used 1.1 billion oz, 1100
27:14
million or 1.1 billion ounces. For EVs, they used about 100
27:20
million oz combined 1.2 billion oz over that period.
27:26
Now look at the chart which makes it visually obvious to us
27:33
what is happening with silver. The orange line right is their
27:38
use of silver for solar panels. The blue, which really is just
27:43
getting started, is their use of silver in EVs.
27:51
Now we know one thing, right? Those numbers will continue to
27:55
go up. But what's even more interesting
27:58
is the EV side, which projections are in the next 5 to
28:02
10 years, we could see an equal explosion in demand for silver
28:10
from the EV sector in particular because of the solid-state
28:14
batteries. Now think about this, as we
28:17
learned all this data about China, what do we know that's
28:22
happened in the last 3-4 months? We know that on January, in
28:26
January, China banned exports of silver, China banned exports of
28:31
silver. That was January.
28:33
What do we know that happened in February and March?
28:36
China imported mine, mind blowing, record-breaking amounts
28:42
of silver imported, OK. They banned exports in January,
28:46
and then in February and March they imported again, right?
28:51
Forecasting high amounts of silver during those two months.
28:55
And the wild card in it all is their sulfuric acid ban that
29:01
they put in place starting just a few days ago on May Excuse me,
29:09
Things are getting very interesting in China.
29:12
And think about silver. Think about silver.
29:16
Think about the demand. OK, 5 big reasons why.
29:19
Think about the demand for solar and electric vehicles.
29:22
Think about the chart that we just looked at.
29:25
Think about the demand for jewelry as well.
29:28
I know we never talked about it. Nobody ever does.
29:30
To me, it's one of the big sleeper demand sources for
29:33
silver that we're going to hear more and more about probably in
29:37
the next two to three years. Yes, the Silver Institute, which
29:42
many people have criticized, said the demand for for jewelry
29:46
for silver is going down. It's a major source.
29:48
I don't believe it is going down.
29:50
I think silver jewelry throughout the world is going to
29:53
be on a major upswing. Think about investment demand.
29:57
Look, we have data that tells us that that 75,000,000 ounces of
30:03
silver have been sold by investors so far this year.
30:07
We don't need investors to start buying silver in that, which
30:12
would be nice. All we need is for them to stop
30:15
selling silver and that will create a huge imbalance again in
30:20
the in the supply demand dynamic within silver robotics.
30:25
We're going to talk more about this next week.
30:28
Robotics is another one that nobody talks about and there's
30:31
estimates of the number of robots humanoid, whatever you
30:34
want to call them, agree, disagree, whatever, but that
30:37
they are coming and they will also each one of those little
30:40
robot you're I might just have a robot down here in a few years
30:45
doing my live streams for me, but that robotics and are going
30:49
to, excuse me, demand also a huge amount of silver.
30:55
I saw a couple numbers. Some people are estimating as
30:58
much as like 2/3 of an ounce of silver per robot.
31:04
I mean, I guess it could be a neat future if we have robots
31:08
that do a lot of stuff for us that we don't want to do.
31:11
And then on top of that, as we've already discussed, right,
31:14
the tokenization of silver, No one has really created a, a
31:19
tokenized silver product that's caught on yet.
31:23
That will happen probably in the coming two to three years.
31:27
And remember something critical about tokenization, you can't
31:31
tokenize an ounce of silver, excuse me, until you actually
31:36
have the ounce of silver in a vault in store.
31:39
You don't create the token first and then get the silver.
31:43
You got to have the silver. OK, guys, sorry I'm dealing with
31:51
a horrible sickness. I don't quite know what this is.
31:54
Happens about once every four or five years, but we soldiered
31:57
through. We got a lot to look forward to
31:59
when it comes to the future of silver and gold.
32:02
We're going to do it together. Thank you for joining me.
