Silver just hit an all-time high of $59.32—doubling in 2025. Central banks are buying. The U.S. labeled it a "critical mineral." And YouTube is flooded with $200 price predictions.

But what does the DATA actually say?

In this deep-dive investigation, we examine:

THE BULL CASE (Crisis Narrative)

7 consecutive years of supply deficits
Exchange inventories at decade lows

THE BEAR CASE (Hype Narrative)
How "thrifting" reduced silver per solar cell by 80%
The untapped recycling reservoir
Paper market mechanics and speculative positioning
Why extreme predictions often fail

THE FORENSIC VERDICT
Our evidence-based conclusion on what's real vs. what's hype
