Most notably is that unlike gold, silver gets used up and is then gone forever. Almost all of the gold ever mined in mankind’s history is still here. We don’t really use gold for anything other than money or as a store of wealth and for decoration like jewelry. Silver gets used in all kinds of industries. It’s natural antibiotic properties make it a wonderful instrument in the medical field. It is used in military applications; it’s used in all kinds of electrical switches, relays, and batteries. It’s used in water purification systems and paints, and as a primary component in the photographic industry. Silver doesn’t corrode and has excellent thermal conductive properties. Silver, like gold, has also been used, [and continues to be used] as a monetary instrument for centuries. Moreover, as India and China continue their unparalleled advance into joining the ranks of the industrialized world, the situation will be further exacerbated.”</p><p><br /></p><p>Source: <a href="https://www.mining.com/silver-is-now-even-more-precious-than-gold-do-you-own-any/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.mining.com/silver-is-now-even-more-precious-than-gold-do-you-own-any/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mining.com/silver-is-now-even-more-precious-than-gold-do-you-own-any/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
