When it comes to silver, Americans are leading the world in hedging their bets in the shiny metal.\u00a0 This year, Americans have purchased one out of every three ounces of physical silver bar and coin compared to the rest of the world.\u00a0 And, that’s not all.\u00a0 If we also consider total Silver ETF demand, the U.S. based SLV ETF has seen its inventories increase by over 200 million oz in 2020.<\/p>\n

Thus, Americans have purchased nearly half of all the global physical and ETF silver investment this year<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0 According to the Metals Focus Silver Interim Report<\/strong><\/a> for the Silver Institute, the U.S. is projected to see a 62% increase in physical silver bar and coin demand this year over 2019.\u00a0 Based on the 2020 World Silver Survey data, total U.S. physical silver demand was 48.2 million oz (Moz) last year.\u00a0 Simple math puts the total estimate for U.S. silver bar and coin demand at 78 Moz in 2020.\u00a0 With global physical silver investment to be 237 Moz this year, the U.S. accounts for one-third of the total.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, the U.S. based iShares SLV ETF, saw its inventories increase more than 200 Moz this year, accounting for two-thirds of the total 300 Moz growth in global silver ETFs.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, I don’t know if all that silver is located in the SLV ETF vaults, but it is still an excellent indicator revealing the increasing need for Americans to place more of their wealth into silver.\u00a0 I believe this is only the beginning of a rising trend that will continue over the following years.<\/p>\n

I want to bring up an important topic that I will discuss more in future articles and videos.\u00a0 With the Bitcoin and Crypto prices moving back to highs, we see more financial talking heads suggesting that Bitcoin is now an alternative to gold.\u00a0 I saw this today on my Twitter feed below.\u00a0 Raoul Pal, who runs the Real Vision Group and Youtube videos, belongs to a growing number of NEW-AGE TECHIES who believe in a Cartoon Jetsons future.<\/p>\n

This is huge news. This is the largest asset management firm on earth. 2021 is setting up to be a year of severe supply shortages vs. demand in Bitcoin, and upside price dislocations. #Bitcoin<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/bz7hU4z6mP<\/a><\/p>\n
