"Silver is up strongly today. They tried to push it down but the supply shortages are real. Silver got a bit ahead of itself at $121 and it now stabilizing above $70 per oz. For silver mining companies their cost to mine is usually around $20 per oz (each is different). The average price during Q4 of [----] was about $60 per oz. Gross profits are going to be about $40 per oz for many of the miners in their next earnings reports. A year ago when silver was $30 per oz those companies were reporting gross profits of maybe $10 per oz. Free cash flow was lower after taxes royalties etc. Now at $60"

"One of the more interesting things happening right now: Bitcoin mining difficulty just saw its biggest drop since [----] as miners shut machines off or exit entirely. At the same time some miners are openly pivoting away from Bitcoin and into AI and hyperscale data centers. Bitfarms is a good example. Its stock jumped after saying its no longer really a bitcoin mining company Admittedly its tough to hear. But I do get it. Its not just that mining is harder. Prices are down and margins are tight. Its that markets are actively rewarding miners for leaving Bitcoin in favor of AI. That tells you"
