It isn't hard to go off topic... it's impossible.  Everything is connected.  One truth leads to another and so forth.  Then people who truly understand a concept, idea or phenomenon see links between events that they couldn't previously.  Of course, it is so easy for such people to be dismissed as 'quacks', 'tin hat brigade' and disconnected from reality but the truth remains.  Fortunately the last year has removed my concern for such people.
Those who are truly awakened get what that guy was saying in the last video.  There is more going on here than a silver squeeze or shortage.  We have central banks, governments, military and the usual corporate manipulation all involved here.  My conclusion is that there is a deliberate plan to reduce the population which not everyone in political positions is necessarly privy to.  These are the guys trying to change every age-old truth, precept and value we have had historically in order to prepare for the new age they are orchestrating.  However, while they are moving forward in a general direction, there is still infighting between them.  For example, if you have ever worked in a large corporate environment, you will know that backbiting and career hungry people can stoop to very low places in order to promote themselves.  Why would this cartel and conglomerate be any different - they are bound to have people around the world trying to fight their way to the top of their pyramid.  It's even worse though because the people that they are battling with have the same non-existent moral code.  Then there are the yes men/women who are woven throughout the governments and civil services of the world, the little compliant busy bodies who always say 'yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir' when they are told to do something.  No way they sacrifice their pension for the greater good... And so we come to Covid-1984 to destroy our economies, attack our social structures, remove our independence, prepare us for programming in the future in a co-ordinated attack by every government in the world.  Build back better as they say... no wait, they all actually said it... hmmmm, that's odd, it's almost like they were all reading off a script.  Anyway, I'll stop now because I want to enjoy my coffee and not talk about why I shouldn't inject myself with an experimental vaccine which was developed at lightening speed, by an industry more corrupt than most for a 'virus' with a 99%+ survival rate... oh and doesn't stop you getting the virus, spreading it... but it's all good, no-one is safe until all of us are safe, put your wee face mask on, take your injection and be a good citizen.
Genuinely, I do apologise for going off topic but firmly believe that there is something REALLY BIG behind this silver situation.  I'm not saying it's all about silver, I just think silver is connected and symptomatic of something else happening in the background.

For me personally, it's all engineering consent. Create a problem, pose a "solution". Every "solution" restricts individuality, sovereignty, expression, etc. (the list goes on...) all under false pretenses. Had the problem and solutions not been there, the world would be better off. This is a blanket analogy for anything that you feel is not right with the little voice in your head, your consciousness.
However, it's not hard to see a lot of people who don't listen to their consciousness, or are in extreme hypnosis aka. deep sleep... It's hard to wake up people in deep sleep. When you wake them up, they cuss, swear, tell you to piss off, how much you are wrong or suck and go back to sleep soundly. Believing and accepting the tough things for some people is sometimes harder than accepting the lies, deception and truth - regardless of how much sense it makes!
That's my two cents anyways   -  not directed at anyone on here, neither at you @ScentSationCandles; just felt like I had to write it, and your comment made sense to tag it to  

(This is not quite what you were asking about, but having reread it, I'm not going to delete it, although the last paragraph comes close to what you're asking. The short answer is, above ground, unpurchased silver might be more rare at the moment. Below the ground, I don't know that anyone has an idea, but the final paragraph provides insight how silver would likely be rarer than gold before the end of the century.)
 
Here is an example that might give you more perspective and I will follow it up with a link. The value of silver has been manipulated a lot more than gold. It isn't that silver should be worth more than gold. It is that more is to be gained percentage-wise from owning silver. That is, should we be returned to a precious metals standard worldwide. I will point out that presently that would appear to be a very big if.
So these are the figures behind why silver has greater potential, but these are only United States figures: usdebtclock.org/gold-precious-metals.html.
It should be noted too that these are the official numbers. There was a news story about a college professor in my state who discovered a further discrepancy of 21 trillion dollars. Also the day before 9/11, Donald Rumsfeld announced a major discrepancy of trillions and the documents were supposedly stored at the Pentagon where the alleged planes allegedly crashed, making no claim one way or the other concerning the details of the official story. It's thought by some that an ounce of gold could be reevaluated at 100k. Whether that is true or not, no idea, but I do know that currently that is a little more than 7x the silver than gold, so theoretically, if gold is 100k US an ounce, silver--based on the numbers of silver bullion in the US--silver would be 14k an ounce. Again those numbers sound outrageous.
Another thing to consider. About 15% of gold is used industrially. 50% of silver is used industrially. Solar as well as electric cars depend heavily upon silver and copper, two technologies that have yet to achieve wide adoption. Of course a lot of other electronics use these metals as well, and one would be foolish to believe that no other tech in the future would use these metals, so the likelihood that silver could eventually be rarer than gold is not out of the question. Will it happen in our lifetimes? Not sure, but it doesn't have to because, when the people own a majority of the silver, the corporations will have to come to us and pay our prices or they won't be able to meet demand which means that holding silver, even for a poor normie, will make us very rich if we live long enough. Of course you can't eat silver, so make sure to have an extra freezer fully stocked with food or you might not live long enough to see it.

Absolutely.

that's such a flippant response by the Perth mint, referring to our fellow stackers as 'Keyboard Warriors".
the same thing happened at the mint in 2011.
Their business model is foolish - it involves using customers unallocated metal for their daily production. Given the increased demand over the past month (from keyboard warriors or otherwise), all that metal has been sold, and they have to replace it at cost. Last summer they made a big deal about flying metal over to the Comex - now they will have to try and get that back. 
In the photo supplied by the mint itself, the amount of silver looks sparse, and at least one of the keyboard warriors over at WSB has raised doubts over the authenticity of the photo.
Whether or not there is a silver shortage, or whether Perth has it in whatever form, there have been multiple reports of it failing to meet the promised 10 day delivery timeframe for unallocated silver. That looks like a default to me.

I think I will avoid paper silver. Part of it for me is holding it. I appreciate that might not achieve my original question.
The only silver bullion I have is 3 x 10oz una bars. I buy proof coins mainly. I like picking them and feeling the weight
I have been eyeing up some kg bars, but have been on the fence. If there was a strong chance in short or medium gain, I may have indulged.

In a digital world to be able to see your wealth matters to a lot of money, you can't get hacked and have your 30,000 ozs of silver disappear, or if you have to leave in a hurry its easier to 'hide and ride' with 500 oz of gold

Well all of a sudden my little silver stack seems pretty lame compared to someone boasting 30,000 😂  
Many people concerned with eschatological matters predict that the collapse of the Great City in Revelation relates to the financial system.  I would be part of that school of thought myself but never envisaged that the collapse would be a deliberate one... until I started listening to the WEF propaganda and watching central banks systematically destroy our currencies over the years.  For me it started when I looked at the pension system (I'm a poor private sector worker) and realised that it was never going to sustain people and therefore doomed to collapse.  If a muppet like me can see that then surely those running the country know that the numbers simply don't stack.  Then you look at the 'incentives' set up by government to prop up the system and those barriers to dissuade you from holding physical assets such as taxes, premiums... on already taxed money.  It's just a case of: will the crash happen earlier than it has been planned for or can we pull the rug out from underneath them all sooner.  Will it be on our terms or theirs.
I like the point in that last video - it's us that are the whales in the silver market!  🐳

Indeed it is, it's not to be worshiped. The world would have you believe otherwise, the way they put elites on a pedestal for wealth's sake not merit, and so many other ways...

No it isn't funny when you work it out but I suppose it's better to be awake than a zombie.  All you can do is be grateful and plan accordingly.  Stay sane.

I started waking up to this stuff in 2006. Before then I was fully invested in the lie, so I understand all of the people that want to avoid the truth at all costs. I was one of them. Because it's all so much simpler to believe what you're spoon-fed instead of doing real research which requires exploring all arguments and then picking them apart and reconstructing them one by one. I can't help but come to the conclusion that we've been lied to for a very long time, not just 2001, but 1913. Not just 1913, but perhaps for thousands of years.

Indeed, I'd rather the burden of the truth than to be lost in the lie that's for sure.

When Rome fell, they still kept a lot of the same ways and laws. They just added to them. Things need to fail if you're going to improve them.

As the average age of life expectancy falls thanks to their "health care" schemes. I came to see "health care" is actually death care

Yes things like banks need to be allowed to collapse naturally in a capitalist market, but they don't let that happen.

Also that is the playbook of the controllers to fail the system not to liberate it for good but to implement their new revolution of decadence and control
And when they do they wipe the table of all the chips, wealth transfer, take overs of whole industries, building up your foreign enemies to destroy us, it's all a grand evil scheme

it may be that Maybe the world sometimes looks to be improved but mostly is due to the point of view of the observer than the problem itself?
maybe it’s the approach and perspective to impact the most on the outcome...as a sort self “fulfilled prophecy”.
just a humble thought  thinking out loud 
 
May I ask to you gentlemen if somebody know/have some insights on how much silver is really/practically available over ground and underground? (Compared to other PM as well) I keep listening many contradicting information about that: some make it sounds like silver is way more rare than gold, some quite the opposite...

Great points made above in relation to philosophy and the oppressive nature of organised religion.  For my twopence worth, I think the problem we are dealing with, and by proxy probably why most of us are stacking is, is summed up in that age old truth: the love of money is the root of all evil.  

I wouldn't trust a Chinese bar without being there overseeing an independent test of the actual metal. This is for 2 main reasons 1 China hasn't released much in the way of larger (+500oz) investment silver bullion so its origen is then called into question. 2 I heard of 3 shipments of copper painted steel woth about $5million direct from a copper producer 

Occam's Razor definitely works for simple things and personal situations, but it would seem to me that the bigger the sandbox, the greater the possibilities and the more challenges to explain or discover solutions. Just like Newtonian physics applies to everything that is familiar but does not often apply to the subatomic. The greater the variables, the less useful it is. Even reason has it limits.
Besides being the change I want to see in the world? I have a few ideas that I am working toward, but for now I am keeping them to myself.

Lucky me. My state is exempt then.

In the US, there is sales tax on silver and gold, depending on which states you are buying from.
