I thought the main industrial use for silver was film photography which I'm pretty sure is a dying field.

It used to be, but there are new applications now (as mentioned in previous posts).

The main industrial use is for electrical conductors. Billions of Ipads, Flat screen TVs and Cell-phones contain significant amount of silver. Solar PV panles are a massive silver sink and a rapidly emerging market. The large majority of this silver is considered irrecoverable (not the case with film). Additionally, the price for that silver is realtively inelastic. That is, if silver triples in price then a single Ipad may only nudge up $5-$10 but multiplied over the whole of the production it is significant yet people will happily pay it.

the argument for industrial silver pushing the price up is valid.

This is how you share actual information.  Thank you.

What? I can't say that "silver is used in industry"?
And "marketing terms"? I'm not trying to sell anything here lol.
Failed trolling attempt.

Pants are used in industry.
Wood is used in industry.
Lamps are used in industry.
Air is used in industry.

Sure you can say it.  But it is meaningless marketing speak that can be said about nearly anything.  If you want to talk about the changes in demand from a particular industry I might pay you some mind.

When will my f*cking Silver be worth something?

It is worth something...almost .5 BTC/oz (for now).
Don't remind me.
Insane though, isn't it?
I remember probably like two weeks ago paying just over a bitcoin for a Maple Leaf...if I had waited I would have had 2 : (

"In industry"

What industries?  Your post reads like a standard gold or silver ad.  No details, just buy now before it is too late.

I'm aware.  I was just pointing out your use of marketing terms.  In my mind, such terms have no place in investment decision making.

You think you own silver?

Probably you mistake. You own a peice of paper where somebody wrote you own a silver.

Paper costs shit.
Actually no, I own silver. I never understood the idea of "silver stock" or whatever they call it. Tangible assets are supposed to be just that; tangible. Plus I get a hard on whenever I'm playing with my silver (and especially gold).

And I haven't heard about a "shortage" per se. Just the fact that "soon" there will be a shortage and overwhelming demand for silver because it is used so heavily in industry. It was that fact that compelled me to invest more in silver than in gold. They're both solid investments, time has shown. But I really believed that silver would be performing better than it is because of all of its uses in industry.
