Dishonest banking creates credit bubbles because the the fake dollars that are generated are confused for real loanable funds. People think, "Oh, this is real profit." But it's just inflation. It's just dollars being printed that are not backed by anything and cannot be redeemed for. >> You're watching Silver News Daily. Subscribe for more. >> Everything you thought was secure is already unraveling. The US dollar, the bedrock of global finance, is quietly dying. And while most people are still obsessing over stocks or crypto, a few are preparing for what comes next. A brutal economic reset that could leave cities burning and fortunes erased. But in this chaos, something unexpected is happening. Silver, the most underestimated asset on Earth, is being positioned to become the new standard of wealth. One expert is warning that silver could soon hit $10,000 an ounce, not in decades, but in the wake of a violent monetary collapse that may already be underway. Political assassinations, riots, mobs, and systemic failure. This isn't fear-mongering. It's a glimpse into a future we've already seen in history. Vimar, Germany, Zimbabwe, Venezuela. In every single case, when paper currency collapsed, silver didn't just rise. It exploded in purchasing power. for riverfront mansions, farmland, and even entire towns traded hands for just ounces of metal. And now, with America inching closer to that same cliff, the opportunity is back. But not for long. Because once the panic sets in, once the mobs are in the streets and the headlines start screaming collapse, it'll be too late. So why are experts sounding the alarm now? And why could your entire financial future depend on how much silver you hold when the lights go out? Stay with me because what you're about to hear could be the most important financial warning of your life. >> You know, the end of the world itself as we know it. So, let's >> Mad Max is about somewhere in the middle there. >> Yes, Mad Max, the techno dystopia, all these things. So, I I had I you know, I'm a fairly polyiana shot mystic kind of guy. So, I had hoped that we might even avoid in-game violence entirely and this might be some sort of smooth transition relatively. I mean, obviously, there's not going to be, you know, no no disruptions at all, but a relatively smooth transition into a gold standard. However, recent violence has disabused me of that. And there's both the uh random violence and the political violence. And the random violence was that uh poor girl who got stabbed in the subway. And the political violence that recently occurred was uh Charlie Kirk's assassination. And one thing of note, both of those were recorded in 4K highdeaf. So in the olden days when you when you saw, you know, when President Garfield was assassinated, you know, you read in the newspaper, President Garfield was assassinated, you go, "Oh geez, that's terrible." And you fold up the newspaper and go about your day. Even in when the Kennedy was assassinated, you know, we have we have one film of the grainy Zruder tape and it's, you know, shaking like this and there's some fuzzy images and you kind of see Kennedy's head jerk back and that's about it. But now we have 4K high def. I mean, you can you can see it all. Uh, and it's it's really horrible. uh and we're probably going to see uh a good bit more of that. Uh unfortunately, it's just it's just the nature of of the society we have now where you can the information is available and it's going to be it's going to be produced. So the question is how much violence should we expect? And so let's use let's use the VHimar Republic as a guide is a is roughly what happens during a hyperinflation. So between 19 and this is Vimar Germany was a nation of uh 60 60 million people I think 61 million people. So in n between 1920 in 1918 and 1928 there were 376 political assassinations. Of those done the collapse of a currency doesn't happen all at once. It starts with slow erosion invisible to most until the system suddenly buckles under its own weight. That's exactly what's unfolding with the US dollar right now. For years, the Federal Reserve has papered over economic weakness with stimulus and rate manipulation. But the damage is done. Since 2020, the M2 money supply has exploded by over 40%. Pushing asset prices to unsustainable highs while simultaneously diluting the purchasing power of every dollar in existence. And now with US debt surpassing $36 trillion and interest payments outpacing defense spending, the math is breaking down. Foreign nations are watching. BRICS countries have already begun their exodus from dollar dependence, rapidly increasing their gold reserves while engineering new settlement systems that exclude the greenback entirely. Meanwhile, inflation, though claimed to be under control, remains persistently elevated with real yields staying negative in key sectors. The result, a slow motion disintegration of confidence in fiat currency, eerily similar to what happened in VHimar, Germany back then. It began with denial. Then came the money printing. Then almost overnight, the papermark was worthless. Americans aren't immune. We're simply further behind on the curve. When belief in the dollar cracks, whether through a global shift, political instability, or monetary overreach, there will be no time to reposition. The market will repric everything instantly. That's why silver isn't just a hedge anymore. It's insurance. The dollar is quietly bleeding out. Silver is the tourniquet. Express that yet. Uh but you know, you we could go a much more positive route than than something like Vimar. we could end up with someone like Javier Mle uh running the country. So what are some things because your your channel is dedicated to what you what your viewers can do to self-actualize, take action, right? So I want to give the advice here. Uh what are some things we can do to maximize our personal safety as well as help out our communities move forward as best as possible? And the most important thing by far to do is to unleash the free market. If the market can clear, no one is going to starve to death or die of malnutrition. So if you can buy the assets, if you can buy, if you can avoid the bullsheism, the most important thing to do is to avoid the bullsheism. And if if somewhere's turning bolevik, you probably need to leave. If you are in, if you're on Staten Island, for example, you probably should think about leaving. You know, even even if you're not in the main part of New York City, you're probably close enough. Uh so if you you know, get get to where uh you can be, you know, safe. You don't need, it doesn't need to be a libertarian utopia. You don't have to be in the free state of New Hampshire. Uh you, you know, if it's free enough, it will probably the market will be allowed to clear. The people will sell their assets to get the money they need to buy food. The stackers will buy those assets, acquire, you know, vast sums of assets and they will, you know, the market will clear and we will move forward. And the stackers watching these videos today will be the next round of capitalists. the longer uh I I should add this a lot of the violence would be but not all would be driven by failure of the market to clear. So, you know, a lot of this violence comes from, you know, if you imagine you're somebody who didn't know about didn't know about your channel, didn't prepare at all, just a normal working guy, and you're driving home and gas is now $50 a gallon. And uh you have to you have uh you have to get in line at the gas station cuz you need fuel to go to work tomorrow and you have to tell your wife and children there's no dinner tonight because you need $200 to have enough gas for work tomorrow, right? So, you're already you're already processing all this mental, you know, pain that your family's about to go through and some jerk cuts in front of you at the gas station. Now, on a normal day, you just roll down your window, you go, "Hey, there's a line, bud." You know, and what what a jerk, you know, uh but when you're on this high stress situation already, you get out of your car, you start kicking his bumper and screaming at him, he gets out, you know, you start shoving each other, and one of you shoots the other, right? These this is the kind of you know simmering violence that occurs in a hyperinflationary environment because most people are not prepared and they are you know emotionally dealing with the stress of having their currency become you know turn to dust in front of their eyes right so the longer it takes for the market to clear the more attractive alternatives like communism and fascism are going to look to desperate people. So, the most important thing to do by far is to get the silver, especially the silver. Silver and copper. Uh, the gold the gold can vault, but the silver and copper must flow out and be traded amongst the people. It's the most important thing I've ever I will ever do in my life, I think, is to get the silver stacks out. So, like I said, you, dear viewer, you can assist the marketing clearing by disgorgging your silver purchasing assets. Uh, politics in in my view is massively overrated in its ability to solve problems. Uh it's it's not helping. I mean, you saw the the the wave of what was promised uh with this current administration when they were running. We were going to open up Fort Knox. We want to see what was inside. We were going to make the government more efficient. And lo and behold, what are we doing now? We're bombing other countries. None of the efficiency stuff has been, you know, the promised efficiency stuff has happened. Uh so I don't think politics is going to help very much at all. To understand where we're going, you have to look at where we've been. And nothing mirrors America's current trajectory more closely than the VHimar Republic. In the early 1920s, Germany faced massive war debts, political instability, and a desperate central bank that began printing money to cover budget shortfalls. At first, it seemed manageable. Then, inflation accelerated. Prices doubled, then tripled. By the end of the collapse, a loaf of bread cost billions of marks and paper currency was so worthless it was burned for heat. But while paper wealth vaporized, silver and gold exploded in value. People who held physical metals didn't just survive. They thrived. They bought real estate for a handful of silver coins. They acquired businesses, land, and homes while the rest of the population begged for food. In some towns, just 5 ounces of gold or 100 ounces of silver was enough to purchase an entire estate. That's the purchasing power shift hyperinflation brings. Not years of slow gains, but overnight resets where hard assets become the only assets. And the similarities to today are impossible to ignore. Exploding national debt, manipulated interest rates, collapsing trust in institutions. America is walking the exact same path experts are warning that the moment public confidence in fiat breaks. Silver could repric violently just like it did in VHimar Germany. But this time the world is far more interconnected and the velocity of collapse could be even faster. The window to prepare is closing. History isn't just rhyming, it's repeating. The So there's 350 died from political assa Sorry, 376 died from political assassinations. About 400 people died in street violence. And this is this is the political street violence of you know two mobs getting together and there's dead in the street afterwards. About 20,000 people died from malnutrition related to issues like tur malnutrition related issues like tuberculosis and influenza. So this is the supply chain breakdown. This is the food being stuck in the fields not getting into the cities and the people going hungry. So about 20,000 people suffered from that. about a thousand people outright starved to death where they just could not get enough calories and their bodies shut down and they died. Uh, additionally, shops and farms were often looted and there's a book When Money Dies that goes into this in great detail. You know, shops would be looted by raiding parties. We're no stranger to that already. I mean, shops are already being looted all the time by by flash mobs and uh and farms as well. you know, especially farms near the cities, people would make excursions out and um they in in the book When Money Dies, they went into detail about how they would, you know, even they would take the stuff they wanted and then they would inflict extreme violence upon the farm for no reason. Kill the pigs, you know, they wouldn't eat they wouldn't kill the pigs. They would just they wouldn't eat the pigs. They would just kill them and leave them there. Uh burn the crops that even if they weren't going to eat them, they just they saw the farmers uh you know, it was just it was just mob violence. You know, mob mobs behave violently. They saw the farmers had things that they didn't have and they reacted with uh with with madness and violence. So the good news was the situation stabilized 1930 onwards when the money was restored. That chaotics that that pure chaos of just you know uh complete you know shutdown of the economy, nothing working, uh people dying in the streets, it only lasted for about 6 months between 1922 and 1923. And I want to point out this once again, this was a country of 61 million people. So these numbers, while scary, and it's going to be even scarier in 4K high def. You're going to log in to your, you know, log onto your uh computer and go on to X and you're just going to see, you know, people being murdered uh to some level. I don't know. I I don't know to which level, but these numbers, while scary, are not civilization destroying numbers. These people went through World War I. you know the world war you know 20,000 20,000 dead is nothing in World War I so these are not these are not civilization destroying numbers and I also want to stress this is none of this is predetermined I'm not saying we are guaranteed going to go down the VHimar route was a very unique case and a unique time in history so Argentina just had a hyperinflation they got Javier Mle out of it who's probably the most libertarian president uh on on the face of the planet right now and is doing significant now he's not you know he hasn't restored the honest money. I'm not sure he understands, despite his, uh, you know, economic leanings, I'm not sure he understands that gold and silver are money itself. Uh, he has, just before we get going, we just launched the official Silver News Daily Telegram. To kick things off, we're running a 10oz silver giveaway. Yes, real physical silver, not a voucher, not digital credits, actual bullion. This Telegram will be our new home for real-time silver discussions, market insights, collection picks, and everything precious metals. It's where the community truly comes alive. Here's how to enter the 10oz silver giveaway. Be subscribed to Silver News Daily on YouTube. Turn on the notification bell. Comment 10O giveaway on three separate videos. Be an active member of the Telegram group and say hi. Once we hit 500 active Telegram members, we'll pick one lucky winner to receive 10 ounces of silver shipped directly to you. So, get in early, stay active. When people hear 10,000 silver, they roll their eyes until they see the math. Because in a true currency collapse, it's not silver rising. It's the dollar dying. And once you flip that perspective, the numbers stop sounding crazy and start looking inevitable. Let's break it down. Today, silver trades around $50 an ounce. But that's under a fiat system that still has a thin layer of trust holding it together. Remove that trust like in a hyperinflationary spiral and the entire pricing mechanism breaks. Silver's purchasing power doesn't just rise in a straight line, it detonates. In VHimar, Germany, 1 ounce of gold went from 170 marks to over 87 trillion marks. Silver followed suit, rising exponentially in real world value. And when you apply that same scenario to America's current financial footprint, a $36 trillion debt bomb, unchecked money printing, and dollar rejection by global trade blocks, you begin to understand why some analysts now forecast silver hitting five figures. Not because of demand, not because of mining, but because there's no other yard stick left. When fiat burns, people seek anything with intrinsic value. Land, food, shelter, and silver. Experts say that in the endgame, 100 ounces of silver could buy what today costs a million dollars. That's not speculation. That's monetary math in a broken system. If the dollar's foundation collapses, silver isn't going up. It's simply revealing what it was worth all along. >> How many were between 1922 and 1923? >> I would guess half, just to be aggressive. >> 350 out of 376. So, and that was the peak of the inflationary collapse. That that's when there were wheelbarrows full of money, you know, wheel wheelbarrows full of fake money uh littering the streets and people would steal the wheelbarrow and leave the bills, people wallpapering their houses, making dresses out of the bills, whatever. Right? So, that's when the when the currency was completely worthless and these, you know, these would be the equivalent the people getting assassinated were the equivalent of like uh Jerome Pal, Scott Bessant, mayors, governors, those those sorts of things. Um, I don't believe any heads of state were assassinated during that time. Additionally, so in addition to those 350 political assassinations, and if you want to extrapolate if you want to extrapolate that level of violence to a country our size, you should probably multiply it by six uh to get a a very rough back of the envelope guesstimation. So, we're talking about two probably about 2,000 political assassinations if we follow the Vimar trae trajectory. In addition, about 400 people died in street violence. This is this is when the communists and the fascists were clashing in the uh you know in open streets in Berlin. And you know I I make the point I've made the point before you know we've said you can buy during the hyperinflation in VHimar you could buy a house for 100 ounces of silver. You could buy a house with 5 ounces of gold about 100 about 100 ounces of silver. Uh would buy a nice house riverfront property of Berlin. The problem was if you peel back the layer, you know, Ernst Rom and his stormtroopers were having an open battle with the communists right outside your door. So you, you know, close the window curtain again, you know. So there's a reason there's a reason the prices were that low. And judging by what just happened in New York, we could see very similar things happening then. It's there's a there's going to be a reason. you know, the the the uh penthouse apartment with a view of Time Square or a view of Central Park is 100 ounces of silver, right? Not gold, silver. We're talking that low. >> While most investors obsess over charts and spot prices, the real alarm bells are ringing in the physical market, and they're deafening. Silver isn't just rising because of hype. It's rising because the system that underpins its pricing is breaking. Look at the comics. Yes, it still shows over 500 million ounces in inventory, but that number is becoming increasingly irrelevant. Why? Because those bars aren't staying put. Arbitrage traders are draining ComX vaults and shipping silver to London, where spot premiums are higher and physical demand is surging. This isn't some small anomaly. It's a systemic shift. The paper market is being outpaced by real world demand. And as the gap widens, the premiums explode. Investors are now paying far above spot to secure physical silver because they understand the game is changing. The true price of silver isn't on a screen. It's what someone is willing to pay to actually hold it in their hands. And with institutional flows pouring into silver ETFs, industrial users stockpiling supply, and sovereign mints reporting record demand, that premium pressure is only intensifying. What we're seeing is a silent decoupling. the divorce of paper from physical. And when that breaks fully, the revaluation won't be orderly. It will be violent. Silver isn't scarce on paper. But in the real world, it's disappearing. And that's where the next phase begins. >> Yeah, not gold and silver. I'm I apologize. Yes, prices of all other goods in gold and silver terms will drop until people want to co until the gold gets coaxed out of its hiding places, right? Uh this is we saw this you know every time you see an economic crash this is what you see the prices in the real terms collapse until the gold gets coaxed out of its hiding spots excuse me. So the returns additionally returns on business ventures can exceed the wealth generated by one's own labor as and stored as gold. So if I you know if I take my wealth that I earned through my day job and I just store as gold that's great. It's savings. A penny saved is a penny earned as they say. If I apply it to business ventures, it can exceed the wealth that I would generate on my own there. But there is a, you know, there's a risk that the business venture fails and then I lose my my investment, right? So that's that's why you have a mix of of both. Now, of course, the modern inflationary system has convinced us that gold is not money and we don't need it as part of our portfolio and that treasury bonds serve the purpose of gold now to basically protect, you know, protect your wealth in a in a in a in a bulletproof, you know, a foolproof scheme as it were. So for these reasons, for the reasons I listed above, a diversified portfolio is considered superior to just vaulting gold because a man, you know, a man with 100 ounces of gold is so wealthy, but a man with 100 ounces of gold plus business business ventures is considerably wealthier. Um, let's see, where was I? Oh, so, uh, we can edit this part out. I got stuck here. Um, okay. Yes. So I would recommend right now to overin and I'm not allowed to overrecommend. So this is uh this is non-advice but I would consider thinking about were I myself uh I would consider thinking about overstacking now. So not just having the you could probably do just fine with the gentleman's portfolio right now but if you overstack now so get more gold and silver now and then balancing it out to the gentleman's portfolio during the crash uh you'll probably outperform. In fact, if you were to overstack now and then during the crash, disgorge almost everything and then let the let the assets generate revenue back into pulling you back into the gentleman's portfolio, you'll probably do even better still. Uh just bearing in mind that there are risks associated with that. So nothing in life is risk-free. So of course, you know, each user I I have no particular, you know, I have no idea which stocks or which land is going to be uh the most beneficial. All I know is that, you know, it at the at the moment of the panic, it will be the best time you'll ever see in your human life to uh to discourage your gold and silver and exchange it for real assets. And I will say in the future, if you ever uh if you ever feel like things are too jubilant, like people are getting too excited, like a bubble has formed, which is going to be our next topic real quick, you can always retreat back to precious metals because they'll always be economic collapse doesn't happen in a vacuum. It spills into the streets. And the same forces tearing down the dollar are now fueling a powder keg of civil unrest. Experts are warning that if the dollar enters freefall, the US could face a period of chaos eerily reminiscent of VHimar Germany's darkest days. Picture this. Thousands of political assassinations, organized mobs, and mass violence erupting as public trust shatters. Not in theory, but as a realworld response to monetary breakdown. In the 1920s Germany, hyperinflation didn't just destroy savings. It unleashed total social collapse. Armed gangs, mass riots, government assassinations, and a population pushed to the brink by hunger and hopelessness. Now ask yourself, how different is today's America? Trust in government is near all-time lows. Political divisions are deeper than ever. And the economy, it's being held together by printed money and blind faith. Remove that faith and the consequences are explosive. Inflation already eats away at wages, savings, and pensions. Now imagine when the system can no longer afford basic services and every dollar buys less by the hour. History shows us what happens next. Anger, desperation, violence. But silver, it stays the same. In every societal breakdown, silver retains value, buying food, safety, shelter. when nothing else can fiat burns. Cities burn, but real money still buys what matters. >> Uh divvy up the responsibility of taking care of him in his old age. That that's that's the traditional uh savings account. If you have a lot of wealth, then you can follow the gentleman's portfolio that I'm discussing now. So the the traditional gentleman's portfolio had a good mix of liquid and illquid assets along with a pretty large safety net of just dead gold sitting in a vault. And so the in but the inflationary system has tricked us into the 60/40 portfolio which is 60% stocks 40% bonds and with other considerations like real estate sprinkled in. So compared to the gentleman's portfolio of 33 33 33 this would be something like zero 20% and then 80%. Right? So they've got they've got everybody massively on one side of the ship. Uh so the question is will we return to the traditional portfolio post crash? Uh almost absolutely. I mean, if if it was if sound money created that outcome, once we return to sound money, we're probably going to end up right back at that outcome where that is considered, you know, a a good mix of liquidity and risk. So, if gold is money, why have a complex portfolio at all? Right? Some of your some of your viewers are going to wonder, I have maybe over the course of this, I've saved something like a 100 ounces of gold and I'm going to go through the crash with 100 ounces of gold. Why don't I just live on that after my after the crash and I could just draw down that and I don't have to worry about buying land and investing in businesses and things. Uh first off, there's always the risk of theft or loss of gold, right? Be it be it vaulting, you know, there's always the risk of something bad happen. If you're vaulting, the vaults might steal it. Uh it might get confiscated governmentwise. If you keep it at home, it might get stolen. A flood might sweep your house and you never find your treasure again. Right? So you just want to have a you want to have diversity on just for its own sake, not to have all of your wealth in one specific spot, you know, tucked away in your house somewhere. Secondly, money is used in transactions. That's the purpose. Gold is money and silver is money. And what do you use money for? You use it to trade with, right? So if everyone is just hiding gold pieces in their house, uh the market is going to drop prices until the gold is coaxed out of hiding. Now, the Keynesians make the mistake that this is somehow a bad thing that that uh we that the government needs to incentivize or force people to get the gold out of their house. That's not true at all. If people hoard go, if everyone says everyone's scared and says, "Oh, I don't trust the market. I'm going to I'm just going to hoard my savings in my house, you know, forever, the prices will drop and drop and drop and drop and drop until someone says, "Well, you know, I just I just can't pass this offer." >> In every hyperinflationary collapse, a single truth emerges. When paper dies, hard assets reign. And nothing is harder than real estate. But here's where it gets shocking. During the Viimar collapse, properties that once sold for millions of marks were being snapped up for just a handful of silver coins. Imagine buying a riverfront mansion for 100 ounces of silver. That isn't fantasy. It's historical precedent. And the conditions that made it possible are now reappearing. As fiat currencies lose credibility, the pricing of everything flips. What once cost hundreds of thousands in paper money now trades for real value, measured in ounces, not dollars. Experts say this is exactly what could happen if the dollar breaks. Picture this. Foreclosures everywhere. No lending, no liquidity, just panic. And silver holders stepping in as the only buyers with recognized value. It's not just about price. It's about who has the money that people still trust. In Venezuela, families bartered gold flakes for groceries. In Argentina, US dollars bought houses for pennies on the dollar. In the US, it could be silver. Because when traditional financing collapses, cash buyers rule the market. And those buyers will be the ones holding sound money. This is why analysts are screaming that silver isn't just an investment, it's a strategy. When collapse hits, silver won't just protect wealth, it will unlock generational opportunity. >> How about how about that? Everyone's suddenly starting to look like the the gentleman's portfolio once again. Um, so the gentleman's portfolio is 1/3 gold and silver. Uh, it's liquid, but it owns and this is this is I'm talking about physical possession or in a vault nearby. It's it's very liquid. You can literally go get your money and go spend it because it is money. Uh, but it earns no returns. That's the thing everyone's always complaining about. Gold has no dividends. That is true. Gold has no it has no yields. So you keep one/3 in that. Uh you can have one/ird in productive land. This is like owning a farmland or even owning your you know if you're if you're running a bakery out of your house or something which is what a lot of people did back in the old days. They would you know pickle things in their house and then go sell the pickle jars. That counts as productive land. You are now you are putting your land to productive use. So you can do things like that. uh if you're particularly wealthy. And by the way, your viewers, you know, this is not um I can't promise anything because this is just the way you know that the I'm not allowed to promise anything. Advice would be illegal, but your viewers are probably going to be uh some of the wealthiest people on earth at the end of this if they followed your advice uh on the other side of the endgame. And they're going to have a lot of wealth uh particularly in the first form of gold and silver and they're going to have to think about what they want to do with that. So, one of the options is productive land. you can get productive land, farmland, shops in the in the buy commercial real estate, buy industrial real estate, and then you don't you don't have to be the um you can just be the landlord. You don't have to be the capitalist or I'm sorry, you don't have to be the entrepreneur. You can just be the capitalist. You can say I have the land. You can work this land and you can pay me rent for for the use of this land. Right? And then the final one is uh one-third stocks and bonds. This is investing in companies directly. Now you do not have to. One thing people misunderstand in the inflationary period is that oh we have to have a broad portfolio of this that and the other thing. We have to have a a thousand different companies that most of which we've never heard of and we have no idea what they do but uh number go up. So the 41k is a good idea right in the post crash you're probably going to be investing in local businesses uh local you know whatever local stuff and uh if you want to invest in things you are an expert in you might invest in for example if you're an engineer you might invest in engineering firms that you know about done it right it would be it would be for the individual um you know investor to decide it probably wouldn't be huge swats of population having large amounts of stocks in fact the this the whole gentleman's portfolio. The reason it's called the gentleman's portfolio is is because it's for it's for people of wealth. If you don't have wealth, you have no business being in the stock market at all. In fact, that's how um JP Morgan knew the stock market was overflated because he was getting a shoe shine and the shoe shine boy said, "Hey, I'm in that stock market, too." That's when JP Morgan went and sold all his shares immediately. the the working man's portfolio is to have eight children, take care of them all, and then save a bit of money for himself, and then have his children. Behind every currency collapse lies a brutal supply and demand imbalance, and silver is at the heart of one unfolding right now. While investors focus on macro headlines, a hidden crisis is forming deep within the silver supply chain. Global mining output has stagnated. Geopolitical risks are rising and operational costs are surging. Miners are digging deeper, extracting less and discovering fewer new deposits. The result, a shrinking pipeline with no relief in sight. And just as supply tightens, industrial demand is detonating. In 2025 alone, over 17 million electric vehicles were delivered, each packed with more silver than traditional cars. Solar power is devouring silver at record levels driven by global mandates for net zero emissions. And now a new player has entered the scene. Artificial intelligence, AI data centers, and 5G infrastructure are consuming vast amounts of silver for conductivity and cooling. All of this is pushing industrial demand past 1 billion ounces annually, levels the mining sector simply can't keep up with. And when demand outpaces supply in a critical resource, prices don't just rise, they rupture. But here's the kicker. In a collapse scenario, industrial buyers will still need silver, but silver holders will be calling the shots. Supply constraints aren't just a tailwind. They're a time bomb. And when it explodes, silver's true value will be revealed. Uh, and so I don't think the viewer, some of the viewers might be inspired like, oh, I need to lead my I need to run for mayor. I need to run for alderman. I need to do something to lead my community. If you don't want to, and this is, remember, 376 people were assassinated in this period. So, if you don't want to, I don't think you need to. I don't you don't have to heed the call to be a local leader unless this is something you want to do. Um, so unless you are running for office or behaving imprudently, I mean, if you, you know, if you running into a bar and you're like, "Drinks for everybody. I'm going to, you know, and you start, in fact, I'm going to buy the whole bar." And you start slapping gold coins down on the table. Yeah. You're probably going to attract some unwanted attention. So behave prudently and don't run, you know, if you're running for political office saying I'm going to, you know, uh, you throw out all the bums, uh, the the political risk might be higher than normal or the political risk might be a little bit high. Uh, the personal risk, I should say, but if you don't behave imprudently and you're not running for public office and you're not making a big stink about things, the personal risk will be higher than it is right now probably, but it's not going to be catastrophic. I mean, most people in VHimar Germany, you know, they they did okay. they, you know, they in terms of violence, you know, most people didn't didn't walk around thinking they were going to be mobbed in the street immediately. It was it was political organizations that were fighting each other, right? So, the crisis phase should only last about 3 to 6 months, maybe even less. We don't have the the Viimar problem lasted so long because they had other countries were were uh holding them hostage, basically saying you must pay us in gold of gold they did not in fact have, right? So, the US can default on its debt. There's no one who's going to say, you know, we're going to invade you if you don't pay us. Well, okay, we'll come invade us, right? It's come and take it. Uh the US will default on its debt. That will cause the crisis to spike, but once that spikes, you know, people people realize that they didn't get they're not going to get the money they thought they were going to get. Everyone has a good cry. Everyone gets up the next day and gets back to work. The crisis phase, like I said, should only last three 3 to 6 months, maybe even less. Um, so even if you don't hunker down, I know I know some people are building, you know, building shelters out in the middle of nowhere, prepping hard, you know, thinking things are going to get very mad maxi. Even if you don't hunker down, the risks are not that elevated as long as you remain prudent. Like I said, if you buy the Lamborghini, put it in your garage and close the door. Don't don't drive around town in the Lamborghini, right? So we all have to decide in in the more general sense we all have to decide what is worth living for and what what is worth dying for as well. So I would just in the most general advice I would say follow your conscious through the endgame and after and I do want to assure the viewer if you if you follow the Austrian school of economics at all you believe in spontaneous order and spontaneous order will emerge from the chaos. Now we we can't see the spontaneous order right you can't I can't tell you what factories are going to exist after the after the crash. All I know is that people will need things and people will go to work to provide things that other people need. So we should see a return to to order fairly quickly after the chaos. While the physical market screams shortage, another battle is unfolding quietly inside the paper markets that price silver globally. For years, ComX has acted as the central hub for silver futures. But cracks are forming and institutional players are beginning to shift their strategies. ETFs backed by physical silver have seen strong inflows all year. And that demand isn't passive. It's pulling real metal out of circulation and forcing higher premiums, especially in London where arbitrage trades are draining comx inventories. What's happening here is a stealth reallocation. The smart money, the banks, the funds, the high- netw worth investors, they're exiting paper promises and demanding metal in hand. Why? Because they know that in a crisis, contracts are only as good as the counterparty. And in a true collapse scenario, trust in the system vanishes. That's when the paperto physical spread breaks. We've already seen signs, soaring premiums, delayed deliveries, vaults transferring ownership behind closed doors. When the tipping point comes and investors all try to convert paper into physical at once, the system will seize up. That's when prices decouple violently and silver reprices in real time. Not based on futures contracts or comx settlements, but on what someone will pay right now to take delivery. And when that moment hits, those holding promises will be left behind. Only those holding metal will be ready. Just before we get going, we just launched the official Silver News Daily Telegram. To kick things off, we're running a 10oz silver giveaway. Yes, real physical silver. Not a voucher, not digital credits, actual bullion. This Telegram will be our new home for real-time silver discussions, market insights, collection picks, and everything precious metals. It's where the community truly comes alive. Here's how to enter the 10oz silver giveaway. Be subscribed to Silver News Daily on YouTube. Turn on the notification bell, comment 10O giveaway on three separate videos. Be an active member of the Telegram group, and say hi. Once we hit 500 active Telegram members, we'll pick one lucky winner to receive 10 ounces of silver shipped directly to you. So get in early, stay active. We have we have cracked the code. We have broken Gresham's law, right? We have created new money, right? When when people are saying that they are they are in effect defying they they are claiming they have broken natural law that they have defied natural law, they're probably wrong. That's that's the kindest way I can put it. If someone is saying that, they're probably wrong and they're probably shining you over again. Uh, you know, this time, this time is different, right? Oh, you know, this is, you know, now we have the real now we have the real thing. Gold, gold was money. That was analog money. This time is different. Now it's now we have digital money. Now we have Bitcoin where you can store your wealth forever. Right? And finally, no actual profits. None of these companies are actually profitable. Open AAI is burning $12 billion a quarter right now, right? So every every prompt you make into chat GPT is costing Microsoft money. They're burning it and they're burning, you know, the burning at a at a ferocious rate. And so, you know, all these other companies are doing the same thing. Pelaton, Pelaton has never been profitable. And yet people thought like, oh, it's the next big thing in biking. And I can bike with an iPad in front of me. Instead of going out and with a real bike and enjoying nature, I can bike with a visual with a video of nature of passing that I'm fake passing by. Right? So this time, unlike the other previous times, this time the money itself has been in a tremendous bubble and everything else that I've been referring to are bubbles on top of the monetary bubble itself. Um, you can avoid and it's going to pop. The monetary bubble is absolutely going to pop and it's going to be absolutely nasty in an economic sense. Hopefully not in the real world sense as I've discussed before. Uh probably some disturb uh perturbations. Uh hopefully nothing hopefully nothing that uh is is too horrible. But you can avoid by you can avoid the bust by storing your capital in money itself. This is the third time I've brought this up. Gold and silver are actual natural, you know, from the grace of God to us money. After the bust, you can apply your capital to sound businesses and then bubbles. My final point is bubbles will be entirely avoided with sound banking. That's I I we don't have time to get into I wanted to do a little diet tribe and sound banking, but we are pressed per time. So I will just leave it on that statement. Bubbles could be avoided entirely if we had honest banking and no central banks. >> As silver begins to decouple from paper markets, another silent signal is flashing bright red. The gold silver ratio. For decades, this ratio has been a key indicator of silver's relative value. And right now, it's screaming opportunity. Historically, when the gold silver ratio rises above 80, it signals that silver is undervalued. In early 2020, it spiked to over 120, one of the highest levels in recorded history. Since then, the ratio has been falling steadily, and in 2025, it's begun to compress even faster. driven by silver's outperformance. This isn't random. It's the same pattern we've seen before every major silver bull run. When the ratio snaps back, silver doesn't just catch up, it overshoots. In 1980, the ratio collapsed from over 90 to under 20 and silver exploded. In 2011, the same thing happened and silver surged again. Today, as gold continues to climb, silver is finally beginning to close the gap. But it's still nowhere near its historical equilibrium. That means one thing. The real move hasn't started yet. The gold silver ratio is a leading indicator of sentiment, momentum, and positioning. And when it compresses violently, it's usually because silver is entering an aggressive breakout phase. The smart money is watching this ratio and acting because history shows that when silver starts to move, it moves fast and it moves far. There's always a bust at the end of a boom. So, here are some signs to tell if you were in a bubble or if the growth is real because the two can be the two can intermingle and you don't know which is real and which is a bubble. The first sign is easy credit. Like I said before, if the credit has been easy for a while and easy is a relative term. I understand that. if the credit has been easy for a while, you might be in a bubble. And I said, you know, when I was first when I was first on my journey, I said, well, the Federal Reserve, you know, they're not perfect, but they wouldn't they wouldn't give us easy credit. They wouldn't, you know, do it on purpose to like, you know, make make things uh make things fall apart. And then I looked and the Federal Reserve rate had been 0% for 14 years. Now, I want you to understand, D, Dan, I have a master's degree in economics and I was not paying attention. That is how that is how people fall asleep. You just go about your day. You live your daily life and you see the news reports and you hear oh the Federal Reserve has engaged in quantitative easing and oh well gee that doesn't sound you know that sounds like something important is happening. But you know you you live your life and nothing nothing much is happening until you take the time to analyze it and then you say oh my goodness gracious I'm you know this this is not good. So 0% credit for 14 years is probably easy. I think that fits the definition of easy credit. We are probably in a gigantic bubble of enor of I cannot quantify the proportions. Second is unsophisticated participants are people who have no business participating in a market engaged in it. And the answer is absolutely yes. There are people engaged in crypto. There are people engaged in AI stocks. And these are, you know, normal day-to-day people. uh they're essentially just gambling because they're chasing, you know, that their day job is not producing enough income for them to survive. So, they're taking high-risisk bets on the stock market. This is a very typical uh effect, a phenomenon of an inflationary system where everybody's everybody stops doing productive work and everybody becomes a stock jobber trying to get the next quick buck. Third, are natural laws being broken, right? When somebody says, "We've created a new paradigm. We're, you know, we have anti-gravity boots." Well, okay. I'd like to see those, right? Well, we're developing. They're still in developing, but trust me, those anti-gravity boots are coming out tomorrow, right? Or coming out next year once we get enough funding. Are are some sort of natural laws getting broken? I have seen on crypto websites. I have seen declarations that Gresham's law, which is the an economic law, has been broken. >> If there's one signal that confirms we're heading toward a monetary reset, it's this. The world is abandoning the US dollar and it's happening faster than anyone expected. BRICS nations led by China and Russia are no longer just talking about ddollarization. They're doing it. Over the past 2 years, these countries have added nearly 800 tons of gold to their reserves, dumped US treasuries, and launched alternative payment systems designed to bypass the dollar entirely. This isn't just geopolitical posturing. It's a full-scale currency shift. And when the global reserve currency begins to lose its grip, everything changes. Historically, reserve currency transitions are rare and violent. But unlike past eras, the world now has digital tools and coordinated blocks that can accelerate the process overnight. And here's where silver enters the equation. While gold is the central bank's hedge, silver is the people's hedge. the metal for those who can't buy gold in bulk but still want protection from fiat decay. As the dollar weakens and faith in fiat crumbles, demand for silver will spread like wildfire. It won't just be a monetary metal. It will be the bridge between collapsing paper and real assets. When the dollar loses its crown, silver won't ask permission. It will surge. Not because it's precious, but because it's trusted. And trust is the last currency that matters. Everyone's really excited about AI and it, you know, you watch an AI video, you go, okay, okay, that's kind of cool. That does, that does indeed look like Barack Obama, you know, and he's saying something stupid or that doesn'tdeed look like Donald Trump and he's saying something stupid, right? Um, but how can you tell if the growth is real or not? How can the plumber under the sink say, you know what, I should probably continue my day job. This other job, this other thing that my friend has just just got introduced me to is probably not real. I think his gains are not real and he's going to he's going to find out this is not true. Right? So real growth it's hard it can be hard to tell in the moment but real growth mankind we are constantly improving the world due to the invisible hand. Right? Innovation automates distasteful jobs and simultaneously opens up more productive work for everybody. Right? The the the the pig farmer is the first person who says you know what I need a I need a power hose. Right? I don't I'm tired of, you know, sweeping this stuff with a broom, the the pig waste, you know, I'm tired of cleaning out all this by hand. I need a power hose. Let me let me get a power hose and clean this pin with a power hose. That's an automation. That's an innovation, right? And if the power hose hadn't been invented yet, some some entrepreneurial pig farmer would say, "Oh, you know what? Let's come up with this and I could sell it to the other pig farmers." That's what happens, right? Chamber pot maids and washer women were jobs that those were careers that people had. uh you would go, you know, before plumbing, you would people had to use the use the bathroom in the middle of the night, so they had a pot by their bed and some someone would come by in the in the morning and clean it out for money. Or if you were if you were less wealthy, you did it yourself, but if you were of means, you paid someone to do it cuz it's disgusting. Uh and washer women, you know, people would come by and wash their clothes by hand. These jobs no longer exist. They're not career paths. But a YouTuber is now a career path. I I am talking to you and and you know my friend Rafie and other people do this professionally. I'm I'm just doing this as a side hustle. It's not uh you know not a full-time professional gig for me but it is for other people and they they can make a living doing it. That is that is real growth. But there's also the inflationary side of like the like I said you know these days you click click on YouTube half the stuff is AI generated videos of people farting and you're like are people really watching this? You have you have to wonder is this is this real? Are people really being duped by this or is this just more is this just a bubble on top of a bubble? Right? So, like I said before, bubbles are solely formed by artificial credit expansion. They with real money, these these do not form because it is quickly discovered that whatever you were going to invest in is not producing outcome. So, you say, "Okay, well, this is not this is not producing profit, so I'm I'm, you know, cutting my losses and walking away from it." But when money when you know new new credit is constantly pumped into it, it can look like real gains. So, and like I like I warn everybody eventually and it can take a very long time. The bubbles always always always pop there. In the final stages of collapse, the panic always begins the same way. People try to sell what they don't understand and hoard what they do. And right now, a growing number of experts are warning that silver holders must be ready to disorgge. Not out of fear, but strategy. Because when fiat implodes and real assets are auctioned off for cents on the dollar, only those holding silver will have the leverage to act. Picture the moment. The headlines scream currency crisis, banks freeze withdrawals, and the average person is stuck holding useless digits on a screen. But silver, that's spendable, tradable, and real. And this is the moment where everything flips. The man with a pile of physical silver isn't a collector anymore. He's a buyer of farmland, housing, equipment, and even businesses. Not because silver has changed, but because its true value has finally emerged. But here's the catch. If you don't hold it, you don't own it. And when the revaluation hits, silver will vanish from the market faster than it did in March 2020. Dealers will go dark. Premiums will spike. Weak hands will be flushed out. And only those who held through the noise will be in position to capitalize. That's what disorgge really means. Prepare to let go when the world is desperate because opportunity favors the prepared, not the panicked. >> Sure. the the most important thing is how to spot a bubble if you're in one because it's it's a lot easier to see a bubble if you are not in one. You know, everyone who watched Bernie Maidoff uh you know when the Bernie Maidoff scandal broke, everyone who was not in that scandal said what a bunch of idiots. Who would put their money with a guy promising you know 13% returns year after year with no with no risk. I mean it clearly that was a Ponzi scheme, you know, but when you're in one uh when Bernie made off his sweet talk, you know, you go to you go to check on your money and he's got all the charts right there in front of you and all his office workers are busy little bees typing away and he's got the he's got the keys to the city and he's got the, you know, approve, you know, he's got the certificate of approval from the the stock market, you know, it it looks real. Bubbles look real. That's why they happen. If they didn't look real, people wouldn't fall for them. So, especially if you are in one, I'm going to give some tips to to think about how you can tell if you are in a bubble. I I was in the bubble. I would, you know, I had a 401k. I had uh, you know, I own some cryptocurrency. You know, I wasn't thinking about this stuff until after uh the mysterious virus of unknown origin hit our shores. And that changed my my way of thinking. And I realized I am in a giant bubble. And I I you know, sort of like if if you're holding your grenade, you you kind of put it down and slowly back away. I I pretty much did that and extracted myself from the bubble. And now I'm just here to to help everybody else see, oh, you're probably we are probably in some sort of giant bubble and you should think about here are some signs that you can see. So bubbles are created by banking. Banking, dishonest banking. Let me be very clear. Honest banking would not create a credit bubble. Dishonest banking creates credit bubbles because the the fake dollars that are generated are confused for real loanable funds. People think, "Oh, this is real profit, but it's just inflation. It's just dollars being printed that are not backed by anything and cannot be redeemed for gold at the end of the day." So fake businesses success attracts real money from people seeking yields. What does that mean? I want you to imagine, Dunigan. Imagine you're a plumber and you're working hard for your daily bread and you are in some lady's house and her kitchen sink is leaking and it's clogged and you are underneath the kitchen sink and you are you know dis you know the the the the b the border of the kitchen sink is jamming into your back and uh it's dark and it smells like mold and you're getting you know who knows what dripped on you and you're you know you're making some money but then your friend comes to you and he goes oh by the Hey, Dunigan. You know, I I put up these AI generated videos of people farting on YouTube and I made $200,000 in a week. What's that guy under the sink going to say? He's going to say, "What the hell am I doing here?" Right? Why am I under the sink, you know, digging away muck from some old lady's sink when I could be making AI generated fart videos on YouTube, easy peasy, you know, people click and I get I get the money, right? So, he he stops his job as a plumber and he runs off to go join the the the circus, right? if he runs off to go join this this AI bubble uh or this, you know, this bubble of AI generated content. So those who invested, oh, sorry, but eventually these yields prove false, right? That eventually everyone's, okay, no one's really, it's probably bots watching the AI videos that are being generated by other bots, right? Eventually those yields prove false and a and a bust follows. So those who invested look quite foolish in retrospect, but bubbles do look sound in the moment. >> The warning signs are no longer subtle. They're blaring. The dollar's decay, the fractures in the financial system, the social unrest boiling just beneath the surface. All of it points to a single outcome: collapse. But while chaos consumes those who clung to fiat, silver holders will stand on the other side with opportunity in hand. Not because they timed the market perfectly, but because they understood the game before it ended. History shows us that in every economic breakdown, real money reasserts itself. Not through headlines, but through action. Silver has been quietly reclaiming its role one ounce at a time. And when the system finally snaps, its value won't just rise. It'll be undeniable. That riverfront property, that farm, that land. In the aftermath, they won't be priced in dollars. They'll be priced in ounces. So for those who've been preparing, the future doesn't look like devastation. It looks like a transfer of wealth. the biggest one in generations. If you see what's coming, now is the time to act. Because once the collapse begins, silver won't just be an asset. It'll be the key. Make sure you're holding it when that moment arrives.
