SILVER Will '100%' Be Money Again After Digital System COLLAPSES: Ian Everard

Commodity Culture Jun 17, 2026

Summary

Ian Everard argues silver will re-emerge as constitutional money only after the coming tokenized digital control system collapses.

He expects silver at $80-$90 this year, pointing to a tiny market, tight supply, and rising monetary demand outside the United States.

Gold became the largest central bank reserve asset after the Bank for International Settlements declared gold a Tier 1 asset.

He warns stablecoins and tokenization enable permissioned, monitorable transactions, and urges holding privately held tangible assets instead.

Renium (rhenium) faces 200 tons of annual civilian aviation demand against roughly 75 tons of supply, a scarcity setup he expects to soar.

Top takeaway Ian Everard is 100% convinced silver will become constitutional money again in the US, arguing gold is too big for ordinary transactions once the coming tokenized digital control system collapses, while silver will be the citizens' private money.
As of the June 17, 2026 recording he expects silver at $80-90 this year after a $61-89 trading range, calls the market so tiny that a private agreement between two parties can move it $10 in 30 seconds, and says the real suppression is that people do not yet recognize silver as money, pointing to tight supply, rising consumption, and non-US retail demand from India, Asia, and Europe.
He urges staying away from government-promoted stablecoins, treats the tokenization of everything as an inevitable surveillance and control system, and recommends protecting wealth through privately held tangible assets and parallel systems rather than confrontation.
On gold, he argues the Bank for International Settlements quietly made gold a Tier 1 asset to replace the dollar, that central banks likely hold far more gold than reported, and that Basel, not the Fed, makes the key monetary decisions.
He is even more confident rhenium will go 10x from current levels, citing a 200-ton annual civilian aviation demand against only about 75 tons of supply, no substitute in jet turbine blades, and a price level where $1 of rhenium produces over $10,000 of product.
