As suggested by the cover image, this is a copypasta that has been floating around the internet for a number of years. So far, no writer has come forth to claim authorship/ownership, however, what is contained here is so important that I find myself searching for it on the Internet time & time again, so I am copying it here on my own site for my own convenience as much as anyone else’s. Note that the pricing figures presented here are from 2021, so gold has already seen an increase of about 50%!
PSA – Gold vs Silver
Silver is shorted 2.5 times more than gold, err it has the most upside. Silver and gold will both increase dramatically in price, but Silver is where the wealth will be made.
Let’s use simple math, not common core.
The average silver to gold price ratio has historically been between 10:1 and 15:1. We’ll use 15:1 which is silver worst case scenario.
Gold ozt. Currently $2k Silver ozt. Currently $30
I have $1,000 to invest =
1/2 ozt. Gold Or 33 1/3 ozt. Silver
Gold goes to $15k per ozt. Silver goes to $1k per ozt.
If I bought Gold, I’d have $7,500 If I bought Silver, Il’d have $33,333.33
You decide.
I’m not a financial advisor & this is not financial advice, I’m just heavily invested in silver.
In a recent post on X, James Anderson of the popular American precious metal dealer SD Bullion continued the trend of highlighting both price manipulation of the current market & presenting the opportunity for retail investors to capitalise on it before an inevitable critical revaluation of the precious metals sector takes place.
What is ShadowStats?
ShadowStats is a website created by economist John Williams that provides alternative analyses of U.S. government economic statistics. Williams contends that more recent changes in government reporting methods over the years have been made to intentionally obfuscate & underreport real statistics of inflation/other economic issues. The site offers a return to the pre-manipulation methodologies to reveal key economic indicators like inflation, unemployment, GDP, etc. This is what Anderson referenced when making his statement.
Are Calls for $1300 Silver a New Normal?
This price actually reflects the writings of Echo, which I previously commented on, but who now seems to be banned from X. He wrote that the real price of silver is between $1,200 to $1,200,000, so while it’s on the low end, the price Anderson calls out is congruent with this.
What is the Gold-Silver Ratio (GSR)?
The Gold-Silver Ratio (GSR) is a measure used to determine the relative value of gold to silver. It’s calculated by dividing the current price of gold by the current price of silver. The ratio indicates how many ounces of silver are needed to purchase one ounce of gold. Historically, the GSR has averaged about 7 ounces of silver to 1 ounce of gold. 7:1 is also the current mining ratio in 2025. However, gold is now about $2900 per ounce & the price of silver is $32 per ounce. so the GSR has been floating around 90:1, which is outrageous. Ignoring all inflation, a price adjustment for silver just based on current mining ratios alone means that it should cost, at a minimum, $414/ounce–14x its current price.
Is Silver the Investment Opportunity of a Lifetime?
With current silver prices hovering around $32/ounce as of this writing, an adjustment to $1349/ounce presents a potential return of about 42x any initial investment. The low entry of just $32 means that pretty much anyone can get into silver at these prices. but with supply deficits in the hundreds of millions of ounces & industrial as well as military demands being prioritised, retail sales of silver bullion may become unsustainable to the point of outright unavailability soon.

I just launched a cruel & unusual collection of St. Patrick’s Day-themed meme shirts on my new E-commerce store, so I had a chatbot interview me as if I were someone important about it. If you want to see how the Irish sausage is made, read on.
What inspired these St. Patrick’s Day designs?
I wasn’t thinking of St. Patrick’s Day at all when I first came up with the idea. I just randomly had the thought of eating leprechaun meat one day & wondered what PETA ads trying to stop people from eating it would say. I also came to realize that the St. Patrick’s Day holiday was coming up, so it would be a good opportunity to try to do some holiday-themed designs on my new store. In the end, I dropped using the word “leprechauns” in favour of just “the Irish” since I asked around here in Japan & found there’s not a lot of people who have ever even heard of leprechauns. There’s no actual animosity toward the Irish or Irish diaspora that went into these designs, they simply have more global recognition than their gold-loving cryptids.
The themes of humour & dark satire stand out in your shirts. How did you decide on this approach?
I just have a lot of familiarity with dark humour, having been Necrolicious for nearly a decade at this point. So it would be very strange if I were to present something that was more wholesome like a generic “Happy (fill in holiday)!” instead.
Do you have a favorite design from this collection? If so, why?
That’s really quite a tough one. I think that they all have their own unique appeal. I guess if someone put a gun to my head, I would say “Still Not Asking For It” because satirizes not only PETA ads, but also weird, subversive (((feminist))) ads I’ve seen as well.
How do you hope people will react when they see or wear your shirts?
I hope that they react as they do with any of the memes that I’ve been known to post. First, just an initial shock, then hysterical laughter at the sheer absurdity of what they’re seeing.
Can we expect more holiday-themed collections from you in the future?
I would think so. For me in general, every day is Halloween, so it can be said that nearly all of my designs are somewhat Halloween-themed. However, since I’m not the artist of the pictures that you see on my shirts, only the words, what I’m able to work with is contingent upon what art is provided to me. So, if there are new holiday-themed art pieces that inspire anything in me, then I would love to continue holiday releases in the future. That said, being new at this, I still need to decide to go forward with limited-time availability & only have seasonal products up for a short period or just keep everything up year-round. I might mention that I also tried to soft-launch some Valentine’s Day designs, but I wouldn’t say that they’re strictly for Valentine’s Day. They just had general themes of love/romantic relationships, so I slapped the words ‘Valentine’s Day’ on the item title. I’m thinking of pulling them down just because I don’t think it’s good from an SEO standpoint to leave holiday keywords up year-round. Any feedback from more veteran E-commerce professionals would be greatly appreciated here.

I went to Samsung’s Galaxy Experience Popup in Shibuya to get a little hands-on time with the S25.
I was very disappointed to discover that Samsung has sunset the goth-favourite camera filter, Ivory, with this model (after I got home, a quick web search confirmed its removal).
To the uninitiated, Samsung cameras have a ability to download tons of extra filters in addition to the default ones, but when I did a search for it, Ivory was still nowhere to be found.
The S25 has a new nifty ability to quickly create custom filters based on old/imported images but even after quicksharing some Ivory filter pictures from my Flip 6 to the demo S25 & playing around with them for 10ish minutes the staff & I were unable to replicate the exact hues of Ivory on the S25.
While I wasn’t particularly planning on buying an S25, this does not bode well for the forthcoming Flip 7, which I DO intend to buy.
Samsung, if you’re reading this, please bring back the Ivory filter to the default camera or otherwise make it available for download before the Flip 7 launches!
