Will we run out of silver by 2028?

in #steemsilvergold7 years ago (edited)

Now before I get started, I am not a chart person, always found them to be to much to look at. I did stumble across this chart today, found it very intresting.

Chart is from visualcapitalist.com

It basically gives you a date that you can expect to run out of metals.

Now they claim that by 2028 there will be no silver left, and by 2030 there will be no gold left.

So is this a warning or is it just another chart person? With the current deficit in silver, I can see it happening not to forsure if it will be as early as 2028. I mean we are only 13 years away from that point.

I am sure that as technology advances the consumption of silver will increase, so with that being said could it happen earlier that 2028?

Alot of discussion could be done on this topic.

Let me hear what your thoughts are.

Keep stacking, whatever metal it my be.

Will we run out of silver deposits to mine? No, I think that's a reality we likely will not face in our lifetimes.
Will we run out of silver deposits to mine at current production costs? Yes, absolutely. The cost of production will continually rise as deposits are less rich and less common. Of course, we also have to consider things like oil prices, alternative energy sources decades in the future, etc, but I think production costs will continue to rise.
Furthermore, because the price has been suppressed so low for so long, and because above ground reserves have been dumped on the market to the tune of billions of ounces over the last 50+ years (which has distorted supply and demand interactions), miners now are simply not prepared to keep pace with rising demand. Because of these low prices, they simply are not investing enough money into exploration and the creation of new mines.

Well said my friend, thanks for the comment. Keep stacking buddy.

Eye Opening Post! @raybrockman
If a post like this doesn't get ppl on board with Silver and Gold Stacking then nothing will. Great Job!

True, but unfortunately they still will not see the light. Thanks for the visit and comment. Keeo stacking my friend.

thx Ray! the estimations go accordingly far apart also here.

Thank you my friend. Keep stacking.

An ever closer reality

It is diffently close, thanks for the visit my friend.

Thanks ray for your upvote. I upvote you too :)

No, I will be holding some hunderd OZ of silver. If you need any just contact me :D
I love silver and even created a website for that.

Oh I will have plenty as well. Just found it intresting. Thanks for the comment.

You are welcome. Just keep holding tangible assets :)

With silver actually being used for industrial purposes I can see a point of running low, but right now it's the prices so low you just HAVE to buy some!

Buy alot , thanks for the visit amd comment @buster544 . Keep stacking my friend

Appreciate the resteem my friend

I like silver as an investment at this price. As for running out in 2028 I could care less for myself as I will be 84 if I make it. Remember once the price is $100 in todays $ other silver will be found such as in the oceans.

Thanks for the visit and comment @richard78624 . Very true never took into consideration of the underwater silver. Keep stacking my friend

Got it.

I am stocking up on as much silver as I can right now but I think there will always be silver that could be mined. We just have to find it and get production costs down so it's profitable.

Thanks for the comment @ grizzman . Keep stacking my friend
