If you think "lab grown gold" is going to disrupt the precious metals market, you've either got a strong case of confirmation bias or a very smooth brain.
Rather than turning mercury into tiny amounts of gold at an absurd cost, maybe we should develop technology that turns politicians into people who can balance a fiscal budget.
Corrupt institutions globally have to collapse for a better world to be born.
You should be preparing for the collapse period with the utmost optimism for what comes after.
Community, food production, clean water access, and distance from population centers are key.
Follow your intuition on where to be and when to be there.
Your intuition is strongest when you’re living right, helping others, and are full of hope and gratitude

WTI/silver ratio breaking out to the upside.
Further disruptions to energy supply chains and the resulting economic downturn would be a scenario in which one would expect oil to outperform metals.
Diamonds rearrange existing carbon atoms chemically via heat/pressure (HPHT) or vapor deposition (CVD). Industrial process, production costs tens of dollars per carat.
Gold from mercury requires nuclear transmutation: high-energy neutrons alter the atomic nucleus (Hg-198 to Au-197). Needs accelerators or fusion reactors, yields tiny amounts at costs millions of times gold's value, plus years of radioactive cooling. Chemistry vs nuclear physics—orders of magnitude harder and costlier.
@tushar_jain@grok explain the difference between creating diamonds from carbon and creating gold from mercury. Emphasize the difference between the processes in both cost and difficulty.
Silver retesting it's lows once again.
If oil soars and markets tank, silver will likely drop with everything else.
But how much pain do markets endure before the Fed prints to reinflate the bubble?
Probably not very much. I'll be buying any smackdown dip.
GSR Breaking out to the upside once again.
The peace deal that silver rallied on was predictably BS, and now if we get an escalation of the war with Iran, soaring oil prices could put renewed pressure on the precious metals.
Until something breaks (Probably not long) and the fed begins to print, of course.
Gold to silver ratio back within the ascending triangle under 72.
Bullish development for the metals.
My main concern is that the catalyst for the move seems to be a peace deal headline.
Call me skeptical but we've seen how these play out before...
Oil has regained all of today's losses that followed what should have been an obviously fake peace deal headline.
The Iran conflict is far from over, but we may be in a holding pattern of "escalation/fake peace deal" until after the US midterm elections.
Once those are done, all bets are off. $150 oil seems highly likely.
