Have you ever thought about it? Adjusted for inflation, the highest price of silver in the last century was around $60, which is roughly equivalent to $600 in today's purchasing power. And how much is silver worth now? It hasn't even returned to its historical high, not even one-tenth of it.
This is just a comparison of prices. What's even more interesting is the supply-side issue—over the past few years, industrial demand for silver has been steadily increasing, especially in new energy sectors like photovoltaics, chips, and batteries, where demand is growing larger and larger. However, production supply can't keep up, and the gap is widening.
From this perspective, if silver really rises to $200, it's not out of the question. But when this thing will truly take off, no one can say for sure.

The logic behind this wave of silver sounds pretty good, but who can stand the long wait of gambling?

Basically, it's still sleeping; it'll be its turn only when new energy fully takes off.

As for silver, I've been watching it for a long time, just waiting for the moment of explosion.

The supply gap sounds good, but when it comes to actually spending money, no one is there.
Wait, isn't your logic reversed? How can $200 silver compare to the purchasing power at historical highs?
Alright, yes, the new energy sector does consume silver, but with increased production capacity, prices are still being suppressed.
By the way, those who are now stockpiling silver have been doing so for ten years, and yet there's no increase.
This talk about historical highs has been used in both gold and silver markets before, and in the end, it just gets exploited.

Wait, is the supply gap getting bigger and bigger, and is it being underestimated?

The supply gap is indeed interesting; the explosive demand for new energy has just begun.
