๐Ÿงต(a thread) Why Samsung's Silver Solid-State Battery Tech is a Game-Changer for Silver โ€“ And Sets a Permanent Price Floor (Something Bitcoin Lacks)

1/12 Samsung's all-solid-state EV battery uses a silver-carbon (Ag-C) composite anode. It's not hype โ€“ this tech is advancing toward mass production in 2027 and could transform silver from a precious metal into a critical industrial powerhouse.

As of December 18, 2025, silver is trading around $66โ€“67/oz, hitting record highs amid structural deficits. But this battery could create a true price floor. Let's break it down. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
2/12
Why is this tech favored?
Ultra-high energy density (~900 Wh/L, nearly double current Li-ion)

1) 9-minute ultra-fast charging
2) 600โ€“900 mile range per charge
3) 1,000+ cycles & projected 20-year lifespan
4) Superior safety (solid electrolyte prevents fires/dendrites)
The thin Ag-C layer enables uniform lithium plating โ€“ silver's conductivity is key.Image
3/12
Silver demand impact: Estimates:
~1 kg silver per 100 kWh pack (prototype-based; optimizations may reduce to 300โ€“500g, but still massive at scale).
EV market: 17M+ sold in 2025, heading to 30M+/year by 2030.
If just 20% adopt Ag-based solid-state: 16,000+ tonnes new annual silver demand.
Current global mine supply: ~25,000 tonnes. This is disruptive.Image

First things first: What exactly is a Commodity ETF??

Itโ€™s a fund that tracks the price of physical goods like precious metals or energy. You buy and sell it on the stock exchange just like a normal stock, getting price exposure without the hassle of storage. Image

How??

1 of 3 way:

๐Ÿ“ฆ Physically backed: The fund owns the actual gold bars in a vault.

๐Ÿ“ Futures-based: The fund uses contracts to bet on future prices.

โ›๏ธ Equity-based: The fund buys stocks of mining or oil companies.

you can still get away with dead simple trades if you pick the right place to do them.

i'm going to show you how to do basic white girl pairs trading in crypto perps. Image
like everything i share, itโ€™s going to be very straightforward.

iโ€™m not going to ask you to do anything cerebral or difficult.
you just need to:

1. understand what drives the divergence / convergence pattern we try to harness in a pair trade.

2. look for places where that is likely to be the case.

3. check that you actually see that behaviour in the past.

4. bet on it - in a simple direct way.
