There is a big difference in weight between Gold and Silver if you bring volume and precious metal density into the picture.

The following gold mining data covers total tonnes of gold mined per country in 2016. One tonne of gold is equivalent to 32,150.7 troy ounces of gold.

Physical gold is mined on every continent other than Antartica. On Earth, the largest amounts of gold are found in the oceans - but extracting gold from seawater is not yet profitable or feasible.

There has been over a 50% increase in global debt levels since 2007. Increased financial complexity and unpayable debt make a new financial crisis a near certainty. Thus many new financial spillover lock-down laws have been quietly put in place in the USA and around the world (G20 nations).

Junk Silver Coins, Constitutional Silver Coins, and 90% Silver Coins are all ways to refer to the same thing: pre-1965 / pre-1964 90% silver dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollar coins.

If the long term future of Bitcoin is anything like it’s recent past, describing this monetary phenomenon as merely interesting does it little justice.

Bitcoin along with its underlying blockchain technology, may separately, or even perhaps simultaneously become the most important financial innovation in the 21st Century.

'The Secret World of Gold' is a Canadian documentary exploring the power and politics of gold, a precious metal with more value and fascination than any other.
