silver is literally just a 10% upgrade from copper for 300x the price for most applications. There are a few specific chemical usages, but other than that it's copper++. Redditors don't understand this and just parrot their memes about muh-bacteria and heat/electric transfer when copper is better at anti-bacteria and only 6-10% worse on the other 2 fronts. Silver isn't even a noble medal, it turns black just by being exposed to air for extended periods of time.

Don't buy the reddit-mineral men, or just buy a suicide stack and stop. I get that your brain thinks the potential gains are higher getting more smaller items but you're putting a price ceiling in your head for the other metals. We are talking about the 1 of a kind magic properties that these elements have that give them value -- not just a mirror finish and "muh shiny". I can buff a piece of aluminum and it'll be silver-colored too.

Gold is cool too but remember that platinum is 30x rarer on the surface than gold and is way undervalued comparatively.
