Using inflation factors to backtrack the history of silver, the highest price in the last century was $60. Adjusted for today's purchasing power, that would be equivalent to $600, which is the benchmark level. Looking at current silver prices, they are only about one-tenth of the previous high, indicating that this rally has far from realized its historical valuation.
More importantly, silver is not just a precious metal for storage of value. Industrial demand has been heating up in recent years—photovoltaics, chips, new energy batteries—these high-growth industries all rely on silver. Meanwhile, the growth rate of capacity cannot keep up with demand, and the supply gap is widening quarter by quarter.
Under this logic, it’s not unreasonable for silver to rise to $200. There is room for historical valuation, and the industry fundamentals also support it, essentially a dual-driven scenario. Those who are buying now might be waiting for a good opportunity.

I agree with the dual-driven logic, but isn't $600 a bit too optimistic... It's not wrong to consider inflation, but the question is whether the market believes it.
Wait, the part about the supply gap widening needs to be clarified. The demand for photovoltaic chips has increased, but the silver recovery rate is also improving.
$200 does have some imagination, but we need to wait until the industry fundamentals are truly lacking before making a move. It's still too early to bet now.

The logic behind silver really convinced me. The dual support of supply gap and industrial demand makes the $600 space feel less like a pipe dream.
Will $200 be too optimistic? But anyway, we have to wait for production capacity to catch up for it to be real.
Silver in photovoltaic chips really can't be separated from silver; I didn't think this through so deeply before.
Are the current buyers betting on a continued explosion in industrial demand?
I feel silver is undervalued, and I pick this logic.
The key is whether production capacity can keep up. If the gap really widens, then there's a chance.
Going from sixty to six hundred sounds exaggerated, but using purchasing power to estimate it seems plausible too.
The problem is that the current price is just one-tenth of that, so how long will it take for the space to be released?
I think it's worth trying a small amount to test the waters, since the dual drive is right there.

I'm skeptical about the $600 algorithm. How is the inflation data calculated? Historical comparisons are just for fun; the key is how long the supply and demand gap can be sustained.

Is $600 the real price? Then how come I haven't gotten in yet? It's still not too late to buy now...

The $600 is just a paper number; what really matters is the industry gap—that's what determines the weight.

$600? Buddy, I believe your logic, but when that day really comes, I probably won't have the money to buy it either haha
Wait, is the demand for photovoltaic chips really that tight? It seems like the industrial use of silver is exaggerated
$200, I think it's a stretch, but right now, bottom fishing does seem a bit interesting
