Like everybody i hope it doesnt come to that however when you have some nut Hovering around the "Nuke all button" you never know what to expect !
Not yet, no. But then again, it depends how many years you have left. But then again, tell me, what is the FUNDAMENTAL (not speculative) reason silver can't go to "aluminum levels"? Wow, seems like Chicken Little Jong Un was wrong again.
to Aluminum? isn't Aluminum something like 0.92 cents per pound, which is 0.0575 cents per ounce. you'd make more money scrapping aluminum cans.
Interesting pick. Aluminum's about as abundant as you can get for a metal, but its production cost gets a non-trivial floor based on the cost of electricity; don't know what the floor cost is for recycling. Silver is not abundant by almost any standard, and if you melt it to refine it, you're probably dealing with energy costs comparable to aluminum recycling. Can you fill in the missing pieces on how silver's price could drop that low? Even mercury, which is very cheap to refine and imposes great liabilities on anyone trying to get rid of it (i.e. you have to pay people quite a bit to take it), hasn't gotten that cheap -- aluminum's around $2/kg, mercury around $17.
If you work with system-level computer programming at all, you'll quickly learn that "zombie processes" are a very real thing. Even the algorithms won't be safe.
