If #Bitcoin vanished tomorrow, speculators lose money. If #Silver vanished tomorrow, modern civilization breaks. That is the difference between: •A speculative digital token. •A strategic, irreplaceable industrial metal. One is optional. The other is foundational. -Silver is embedded, irreplaceable at scale, and physically required for modern civilization to function. -Bitcoin produces no physical output, enables no critical process, and is not embedded in any real industrial supply chain. Society continues functioning normally the next day.
