Heres a piece of American monetary history that most people have no idea about.
For over 100 years, the U.S. ran on a 16 to 1 gold to silver ratio. That meant one ounce of gold always bought you 16 ounces of silver. It was baked into the Coinage Act of 1834 and held until the entire system collapsed in the late 1800s.
Today? That ratio is around 60 to 1. Silver is dramatically undervalued compared to gold on any historical basis.
Now run the math. If gold ever got repriced to back our 40 trillion dollar debt, it would need to hit roughly 80,000 dollars an ounce to cover half of it. And if the historic 16 to 1 ratio snapped back at the same time, silver would be sitting at 5,000 dollars an ounce.
Even at todays gold price of around 4,000 dollars, applying the 16 to 1 ratio would put silver at about 250 dollars an ounce right now. Not 66.
Silver isnt just an industrial metal. Its a monetary metal thats been artificially suppressed against gold for over a century. Between the solar panels, AI data centers, EVs, and now a potential return to historical ratios, the setup for silver is unlike anything weve seen in modern times.
