Interesting video on how Venezuelan silver and other resources were extracted, and the geopolitical implications of strategic resources control.

Venezuela Silver ?
Re: Venezuela Silver Gone
I would have to take a deeper dive to ensure any of that's true. I only watched the first 15 minutes but got tired of all the AI generated pics and fake guy doing the talking.
Re: Venezuela Silver Gone
Hmm, looking at it again you are right, this is likely some AI-generated bs. The source is shady, a bunch of recent videos.
I just stumbled on it, even though it sounds dark and the doomsday conclusions may be exaggerated, some of the timeline coinciding with silver prices looked plausible.
I know large part of the reason why silver went up is the new Chinese restrictions on exports...

Still, Venezuela plays a role as well, they had some reserves, it may not be just the political crisis.
