What if the breakout doesnt happen?
What if the paper silver has too much control, and not enough people are buying physical?
Yes places are selling out fast but people bought GME stock fast too. Is Silver only going up if people keep buying it? I have zero faith in 'people'.

My point is its been a month since lots of this has been released, and silver has only gone down (theyre driving the price down to scare people away imo). So when does the squeeze exactly happen? There is no info about timeframes. Just that apparently we will see pressure on the ETFs sometime in the future.

Read the pictures and you'll see how close the system is to breaking. A few tens of billions of dollars of silver are available to buy at best. There's now a mass movement to get that silver on WSS and other places. We're literally in hyperinflation in the real sense of the word (see Alasdair Macleod's articles on this subject). If it doesn't happen in March as Hemke says it's happening some day soon.

It's extremely expensive to buy silver in the UK now, you're paying 100% premiums in some cases. If you do buy physical get CGT-free Britannias and pay less than £5000 in a single year to avoid being reported to the taxman. Otherwise buy PSLV or mining stocks.

This year shit is going down and it will go far beyond silver, because of the bankster's inability to 'print' commodities like they print fiat or shitcoin protocols. summer 2021, the rotshchild rockefeller system is going to come crashing down...a historical once in a 600 year event type economic crash. Nobody will be spared. A global metals panic will happen except instead of toilet paper and bleach, fools with fiat are going to desperately search for gold and silver but will find nothing! By end of 2021 we will be in a global precious metal standard with the price of an ounce of silver being the reference global monetary unit for all international banking, pricing of currencies and foreign exchange! This is because the enormous need for industry to physically hoard their own stash of silver once COOMEX defaults will manifest into a global metals panic since silver is a monetary metal.

Lets say the trust funds, big banks and worst of all insurance companies lose confidence in fiat and put 5% of their valuation into silver? AXA alone putting 5% of its cash into silver could purchase all the bullion currently existing. Imagine if it was on a global scale, it would leak to all tangible assets, even wood or grains of sand at this point. It would entirely halt the production of everything and push price discovery of every commodity sky high.

This is why the system needs an exit strategy by creating a whole world of infinite fiat resources that can be created at will : the crypto-space. You can create 100 billions XRP and then tomorrow morning add 100000 billions of a new shitcoin and it wont impact the real world in the slightest. Just sponges to soak up fiat fed printed money!

Silver and gold are the canary in the coal mine because they historically have been money for the past 5000 years and have all the functions asked to be a perfect medium of exchange (fungible, divisible, portable, durable, uniform). GLOBAL METALS PANIC INCOMING!

Dont sweat the paper price. Just think of any silver purchases as I durable against the coming dollar crisis. Don’t put your needed liquid cash in it. Put cash in it that you can sit on for a lot longer than you would anything else. It’s a long term hold, even if the shit is going to hit within the next 3 years. By the time it will be obvious that you NEED PMs, it till he too late to get them. So get them now while the price is suppressed. It just means it’s on sale for you. You don’t get car insurance after an accident. You get it before. How much of your wealth do you want to take to the other side of a crisis/reset? But accordingly.

See picture. You could buy a mansion in Weimar Germany for only five ounces of gold. It's a myth that everything looks like a Fallout game when a currency collapses. That's what they WANT you to think. As if we couldn't survive without predatory banks printing fiat money. Truth is, yes, there's a period of some months where you have severe destabilization, but all that ultimately happens is that you get wiped out if you're holding paper.

"Once the old Reichsmark had been thoroughly obliterated, the return to a stable currency was so absurdly simple as to become known as the "miracle of the Rentenmark." The Rentenmark was placed in circulation beside the devalued Reichsmark and carried no real value of its own but the naked avowal that there would be only so many Rentenmarks and no more."

If the dollar crashes, there will either be shops to exchange or black market exchanges. It’s what happens in Venezuela. They exchange only what they need out of dollars, BTC, or PMs. Basically, you only exchange what you are going to immediately use to purchase other things. You don’t hold the fiat. On the other side of the trade are people who receive wages or do business and receive fiat and are trying to get rid of the excess fiat they will not be spending immediately into something harder. Everyone is trying to stay in fiat as short amount a time as possible, going into or out of it.

Even if the "squeeze" never happens there are a few really good reasons to buy based on likely coming events.
1.Inflation. Even boomers and real investors go into precious metals to hedge against inflation, money printers have never gone brrrrrr like right now.
2.Industry. Green energy, electric cars, anything that uses electricity needs silver. As these industries grow so too does the need for silver.
3.Scarcity. The easily accessible and rich stores of silver are going to run out within 5-10 years.
4.Current use. We currently use about 200-300 million more ounces of silver per year than is mined and refined. Our above ground stores will not last 10 years if we stay at this level. But with mining becoming harder and use becoming greater the outlook isnt good.

Some people in this thread are confusing two different points I made. The first one is the fact that Britannias (and Sovereigns) are CGT-free. The second is that, yes, in the U. K., if you either

2) Spend more than £10,000 in total purchases of PMs per annum,

"Single orders over £5,000 or multiple orders with a total of £10,000 or more in a 12 month rolling period (this includes anybody connected to you which may include a friend, spouse or other relation)."

It's because they have to report you to the government.

Again, see the official government website:

"The first time that you make an exempt supply of investment gold which exceeds £5,000, or when the value of your supplies of exempt investment gold to any one customer is over £10,000 in any 12 month period, you must notify us within 28 days by writing to our Written Enquiries Section."

Thanks for all the responses fren. Really opened my eyes today.

One thing: I did some research on what you said in between reading this thread, and according to this article (https://thedailycoin.org/2020/03/06/gold-confiscation-could-it-happen-again/)), back in 1966 the UK government even had the power to confiscate your gold held overseas:

> And while Roosevelt’s restriction didn’t apply to Americans’ overseas holdings of gold, the British restrictions applied to Britons’ overseas gold holdings too.

There's a handful of people in the PM community who really understand what they're talking about and get what they say from the fountain-heads of knowledge and their own ideas. Macleod is one and the most brilliant economist alive today. Andrew Maguire is the second-most important person to listen to. After him is Rob Kientz of GoldSilverPros who truly knows how to analyse COMEX data for himself. Deso is highly original and worth listening to although he often runs into crudities and extremes. Dave Kranzler has his own ideas. Chris Marcus is excellent as a synthesis of the ideas of many others. A lot of names also with original ideas although somewhat more limited than the people just mentioned, Ed Steer, Ted Butler etc.

Should have added also, Craig Hemke; Michael Oliver for technical analysis; Egon von Greyerz. Others would spring to mind if I thought harder about this. But as I say there are only about a dozen or a couple of a dozen really original and competent thinkers, and all the other Youtube channels and websites are simply copying them.

>Russia and China will force them to do when they dump the dollar. If you don't have metals in the post-fiat world you won't be able to buy any production from the productive nations.

Dayyum that reads like a [silver] bullet.

What would be some objections to this? That the FED is so confident in their neo-corporate assets that they will resist that other market long and hard? Canada for example the epitome of the globalhomos has sold off all of its gold reserves years ago, literally owns nothing stored. In your case it'd be the first to go.

The only reason why it hasn't happened yet is that China and Russia collect debts which are denominated in USD. They use this worthless paper to hoard gold, silver, and commodities at suppressed prices. When the system has sufficiently collapsed they will rug-pull the U. S. and any nation which doesn't have either gold (savings) or production will immediately collapse into a third-world state.

Doesn't matter we will be a true Chinese colony filled with Africans to keep us from being able to resist with national unity
We will literally own nothing and pay the rent for what we get to use to China

But lots of central banks have been buying gold due to Basel III. But there will absolutely be major troubles. The US will see the most drastic change in standard of living.

I was more thinking now there is no reason to store gold if youre just attaching yourself right to the USD.

To add to this, China and Russia are sitting on piles of gold sure, but they won't declare a commodity backed currency before the US does it, not because they're afraid of a Libya-like intervention, but because right now they can still get real, valuable things in exchange for worthless paper. As long as that is possible there is no incentive for them to be the first movers here, and they and the USA know it.

America has the world reserve currency, which means its dogshit fiat will still be the last one to die, and because its advantageous to be in that position they will hold onto the USD as long as humanly possible. Because if the US were to even hint at the possibility of moving to say, a silver backed dollar, it would instantly annihilate all remaining faith in USD, no one would buy debt denominated in it, and any debt in USD would be paid back in toilet paper. The USA likely has plans for a new monetary basis, but they are required to maintain the worlds best pokerface until they unveil it.

And only then will the BRICs nations reveal their gold backed money a day later.
