    Silver rots away to nothing, gold lasts forever.
    Nonsense. Silver is more reactive than gold but neither last forever. Gold can be changed into other elements in nuclear reactors or particle accelerators (by the same physics that it was created in the first place).
    All the gold in the world is still in available form unless it’s been lost

    not much of the silver from ancient Egypt 6000years ago is in available form if any

    the gold from that time could be in your wedding ring 
  • Any silver will have long rotted away unless it was very well preserved like wrapped in vinegar as the ancient Egyptians were masters at. Even the silver that was well treated to be preserved will now be dull and brittle and unable to be restored back to new silver that was refined this millenium.
    But all the gold and precious stones are still in available stockpiles, even if they have been kept secret. As time goes on silver becomes more rare because it is self liquidating as it were over thousands of years. This is why after thousands of years of human history, today in the 21st century AD,
    SILVER is now more rare and precious than gold in
    available stockpiles on earth. I know this is at first hard to understand, but once you understand the fact that gold lasts forever and has been building up for thousands of years, and silver does not. The only silver available today is essentially the newly mined silver that feeds demand hand to mouth. There are no silver items left in pristine condition from thousands of years ago, that was stored along with the gold in these huge secret stockpiles. Only the gold and precious stones are left.There may be small amounts of silver still there if they were well preserved, but archeologists find it hard to even know what the silver objects were, there is so little silver left and it is in such poor condidtion. They can tell there probably was lots of silver stored originally along with the gold and precious stones, but over time it rots away to nothing. What little remains can never again be restored to look like silver mined and refined in this millennium or even this century.

    It’s 4.5 million tons including all unreported gold in available form above ground

    forget that 200k tons nonsense that is Only what the government’s declare, it doesn’t include all the unreported gold

    its billions of tons if you count what hasn’t yet been mined from the earth and sea



    silver is the opposite there is reported more silver than actually exists 
    Care to provide anything verifiable to back up those figures?

    I’m sure one of his many previous profiles has veritable proof but they have either been banned or he has forgotten the password for it.

    Silver is so useful; just ask the Lone Ranger... 

    So transport and possibly not consensual soul mate.

    I’ve just thought of one, traditional parrot chat up lines.

    That 25+ something meter cube of gold that the public is supposed to believe is the entire amount of available gold in the world is a lie. They can not try and say there is less than this because this only really covers what is reported that is held by all the central banks and other similar institutions. It does not include all the gold jewelry or gold artifacts. For example how many gold wedding rings alone (not to mention other gold jewelry) are there being worn by humans on Earth right now? 

    So as the old saying goes, "put up or shut up" because all you are doing at the moment is posting figures that you appear to have plucked out of thin air.
    If there has really been 4.5 million tons of gold mined, you shouldn't have any problem proving a figure close to this but you seem strangely reluctant to do so. 
    Why is that I wonder?
    And yet another mistake that you have made (one of a great many). The estimated 20-25m cube of gold doesn't represent what is currently available. It is an estimate of all gold mined in history so this would cover gold jewellery, gold artifacts, stockpiles of gold, industrial gold and anything and everything else you care to think of.

    I honestly don't think that you have made a single post regarding gold and silver that hasn't contained glaring errors, miscalculations or downright lies and every single time you are asked for clarification or proof, you go silent and fail to back up your claims.
    These are the classic signs of an internet troll who doesn't actually have a clue regarding the facts of the subject being discussed.

    You do realise all the silver on earth was formed in star supernovae before the earth was even formed 4.5 billion years ago? So no, it doesn’t disappear after 6,000 years, that’s just ridiculous.

    I wonder if silver is as good as tin for making foil hats.

    Don't be daft, silver should be suspended in a solution and then drunk to ward off the various diseases caused by vaccines, such as cancer, diabetes and identifying as a furry.
    Tinfoil hats should be made of vanadium.
