Hunt brothers were considered critics of the paper money policy and sided with hard money on a commodity basis.
In the past, most gold holdings were illegal in the United States. So the Hunt brothers resorted to the best thing, "cheap silver".
Until 1980s, they collected silver. Unlike other investors who completed their silver dealings in cash, Hunts resorted to physical delivery as the silver was sent to Switzerland for storage.
This contributed to reducing the supply and increasing the price of silver. It went from $6 to about $50 in 1980.
This isn't a negative thing they've done, it's just making up dollars for silver from volunteer sellers. It is the right way to repel the corrupt government's actions.
More than 50 years ago, the relationship of gold to the US dollar was separated, as the US government found an opportunity to print the largest amount of dollars, until now it is just trading time. Hunt's decision to buy silver was the right decision to avoid the inflation sought by the US government, which reached its peak in the late seventies.
The silver market is small compared to the size of the gold market, so it is subject to a rapid and escalating rise due to receiving a lot of money
due to times of inflation. The mania of the crisis in silver is imminent and the consequences of inflation may come at any time.
It is possible that with the further depreciation of dollar, people will be concerned about precious metals, as most of these, the money will go to the small silver market, which will increase its value. It is only a prediction...
Financial waste leads to a decline in the currency, which brings anxiety for silver, and such crises lead to an increase in prices.
I see a massive increment in the value of silver in future year's
