INSIGHT

Inflation Originates from Debasement

Inflation began with mixing copper into silver coins, reducing their value unnoticed.
Modern inflation similarly debases currency, effectively stealing purchasing power from holders.

ADVICE

Silver Is Entry-Level Investment

Start investing in silver due to its affordability compared to gold.
Silver is roughly 1/60th the price of gold, making it accessible for small budgets.

INSIGHT

Industrial Demand Drives Silver

About 50% of silver is used industrially, especially in batteries and electronics.
This industrial demand positions silver to benefit from growth in electric vehicles and technology.

Rob explores why silver could be the future of money despite being its past. He explains how inflation is theft through currency debasement, tracing silver's role from the world's first coin metal to today's industrial use. Rob also covers why billionaires are predicting a market crash and how silver trades at discounts compared to gold while having utility in electronics and batteries. He makes the case for physical precious metals as a hedge against currency devaluation, covering storage strategies, tax implications, and practical investment approaches!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Inflation is theft. Inflation was first created by mixing copper into silver coins, modern inflation continues this debasement, with real inflation potentially double government figures

• Silver offers better accessibility than gold. At roughly 1/60th the price of gold, silver provides an entry point for investors with hundreds rather than tens of thousands

• Industrial demand drives growth. 50% of silver goes to industry, especially batteries and electronics, positioning it for the electric vehicle market

• Physical ownership beats ETFs, holding silver eliminates counterparty risk and provides decentralisation, unlike paper investments controlled by banks

• Silver held in companies offers pre tax investment with potential VAT reclaim and no capital gains tax

• Unlike property, silver maintains liquidity during market crashes while rising when other assets fall

BEST MOMENTS

"Inflation is theft. How inflation first started was this was the first metal that was used for coins... they would melt copper in just a few percent into silver."

"I have a rule when thinking about inflation for my own life, if the government say it's five, I think it's 10. If the government say it's 10, I think it's 20."

"If you borrow a million pounds from the bank, you have the problem. If you borrow a hundred million pounds from the bank, the bank has the problem."

"Paper is only worth anything 'cause it's worth nothing... It is only worth something if we trust it. As soon as we don't trust it, we won't use it anymore."
