The Reddit forum poster known as the Happy Hawaiian has gained quite a bit of notoriety for his extensive due diligence posts on silver on the Wallstreetbets forum. In the interview posted above, he provides a detailed explanation of how silver attracted his attention as an investor and several reasons why he thinks silver is entering into a bull market in the years ahead. Here is a brief introduction to the interview conducted on the YouTube channel for Palisades Gold Radio.

"Tom welcomes a new guest, "The Happy Hawaiian," to the show. He prefers to keep a low profile and explains his interest in silver and why he enjoys promoting silver on Reddit. He has always been interested in finance and has enjoyed making riskier speculations, such as partaking in the GameStop short squeeze. That's where he became aware of the potential for a short silver squeeze.

Fundamentally people desire scarcity, particularly in a world with massive amounts of money printing. This is why bitcoin has outperformed, and unlike the dollar, it is limited and decentralized. Silver has a high rate of industrial use, most of which is not recyclable. It's limited, scarce and people around the world will accept it as having value. It's the most anti-fiat play at the moment." . . . . . .

Anyone who has interest in silver and especially silver coins knows the history of the Morgan and Peace silver dollars minted in the US until the 1920's (Morgans) and 1930's (Peace).  As Judy Shelton noted in her speech given at the Thomas Jefferson Library , a lot of thought was put into how the US dollar should originally be defined. Here is one excerpt from her speech: " Based on Jefferson’s recommendations as laid out here…the Coinage Act of 1792 would define America’s dollar in terms of precise weights: 371.25 grains of pure silver or 24.75 grains of pure gold. The idea being: Precision, dependability, transparency…whether in establishing the standard of weights and measures for a nation, or for establishing its monetary standard, its money unit – will yield very positive social, political, economic and scientific results. Jefferson believed that reliable, well-defined standards would empower citizens to make responsible decisions for themselves and for the nation. An

So How Much Silver Does the World Have?

For anyone new to the silver market, it may seem that an obvious question to ask is - How Much Silver Does the World Have? It is a good question, and actually you don't see it discussed very much, even though it is clearly an important piece of information to know if you are thinking of investing in silver. The answer is a bit complicated, but it is possible to get some idea. Let's use the USGS (US Geological Survey) as our information source for this topic. While all estimates are subject to revision over time as more information is obtained, we have to start somewhere. The USGS data on world silver reserves is as good a source as any. It's their job to try and estimate how much silver the world has and they update it every year. Here is a link to the 2020 report on silver (for 2019) and here is the link to the latest 2021 report , just released in January 2021. You can access both reports to compare and see how the estimate changed from 2020 to 2021 (note: they revised
