We Threw It All Away. Why The World Is Running Out Of Silver (Peak Metal)

Описание: For 100 years, we mined billions of ounces of silver. Where is it now? It’s not in vaults. It’s in the landfill.

In this episode, we investigate the terrifying reality of "Peak Silver." Unlike Gold, which is hoarded and recycled, Silver is an industrial metal that is consumed in microscopic amounts and thrown away. We have burned through our above-ground stockpiles, and now we are hitting a geological wall.

📂 IN THIS EPISODE WE UNCOVER:

The "Disappearance" Ratio: Why 98% of all gold ever mined is still here, but 60% of all silver is gone forever.

The Microscopic Problem: Why you can't recycle the silver in a light switch or a Tomahawk missile (it costs more than the metal is worth).

The "Above Ground" Myth: The false data that claims we have massive stockpiles (spoiler: we don't).

The E-Waste Crisis: Why 50 million tons of electronics are dumped annually, locking billions of dollars of silver in toxic graves.

The Playbook: Why the only solution is higher prices ($100+) to make recycling profitable again.

We treated a precious metal like trash. Now we have to pay the price.
