Why is silver going up? I asked Zhihu about it today. The answers from Zhihu were: None of the G7 countries (the squad of developed nations) have a debt-to-GDP ratio below 100%. Right now, the only way to deal with extreme debt issues is to print more money. But printing more money will worsen inflation and currency devaluation, slowly eroding trust in the currency. And precious metals happen to be one of the effective ways to counter money printing because their supply is limited. By this logic, shouldn’t BTC also go up next year? After all, the money printers are about to start running again.
