Silver is outclassed by cnts on nearly every metric, the only thing stopping them from replacing nearly all industries silver use is mass industrial scale (already solved at proof of concept lab scales) cnt-cnt Junction engineering of bulk cnt composites. A single manufacturering breakthrough and silver goes to zero...

Holy stfu, Silver goes 10% in one day and this entire board begins to seethe

>only thing stopping them from replacing nearly all industries silver use is mass industrial scale
yeah thats not a big problem at all kek
>>
>>61547452
i think thats only about triple the usual performance

we gonna get haltened next week
>>
>>61547404
You wish, samefag who's been doomposting about silver all day in literally every thread.
Doomposting about silver won't fix your failed shitcoin investments
>>
>>61547472
It's literally not, mass production of small cnts is solved, the only issue is cnt junctions in composites which is just a engineering problem
>>
>>61547499
>just a engineering problem
Lmao. Just solve it then! Just get those fabs too while you're at it! And hey, nanoboy, go get manufacturers to adopt it, since it's so great!! See you in 30 years!
>>
>>61547561
>30 years roughly the time it took for a 2x on silver baggies
KEK

>>61547563
>only 60 days to get 2x on silver
fixed that for ya trannycoiner

>>61547404
Cool then I have a nice stack AND get to watch quantum computers use these wires to buttfuck buttcoin
>>
>>61547578
After decades of crabbing lolll, have fun trying to sell your shiny metal that is basically as useless once cnt wires mass manufacturing is figured out in the next 2 years because of ai build out pressure
>>
>>61547597

that's like saying NVDA silicone chips has no value due to quantum computing

someone came on here and said bitcoin was going to crash right before Tesla announced the bitcoin purchase. There are lots of evil people working on this board who don't want you to be successful.
>>
i've been hearing about how carbon nanotubes are a miracle material that will replace everything for at least the last 15 years. somehow it hasn't happened yet.
>>
>>61547638
>someone came on here and said bitcoin was going to crash
he's right
>>
>>61547641
it probably has some extremely expensive and precise manufacturing required that makes it completely impractical, something like that
>>
>>61547404
>>61547450
we need infortamion on the price of these cnts
otherwise its pretty useless information
>>
>>61547404
But what about its ability to prevent spikes inside lithium batteries, the spikes being what causes the lose of charge capacity, etc. even with the wires storing electrical energy in a chemical reaction is way safer than just stuffing some nanotubes with extra electrons. Even if CNT batteries came out tomorrow that problem of free electrons if it so much as cracks isn’t gonna be solved cause wtf gonna do, you’re gonna engineer a way to catch lighting after it got out of the bottle?
>>
>>61547603
Absolutely not a accurate comparison, quantum computing relies on solving non existing solutions for problems, and is a billion times more fragile to error, the junction problem in cnts has been solved already with multiple solutions in fact its already replacing industrial demand for silver in a bunch of applications, a mass industrial process just hasn't been formalised yet. The moment it has people are going to immediately switch because cnts are better at basically everything you want out of a conductor, corrosion resistance and lower resistance, and lower density and lower cross section
>>61547641
Cnts literally are already replacing silver in some printed electronics, emi shielding and starting to be added as a filler material in conductors
>>
>>61547404
>>61547404
Faggot, you should have diversified your investments. My crypto (mostly altcoins) sucks ass, down 4x. My silver is up 3x. My real estate is up 2x. I'm breaking even, measured in fiat, which means I'm fucked, but not as fucked as you crypto-only bros. Slurp a penis and stfu, you faggot ass little gen z newb.
>>
>>61547661
About $1000-2000 a kg which is already less expensive than silver per kg
>>
>>61547450
Won't ever happened; even if CNT's were perfected Silver still exists at scale. History proves people will choose inneficiancy over unreliability. Waiting for mass producable cnt's is like waiting for a meteor to strike earth, and even then, it wouldn't replace silver as silver would beat it out on volume alone.
>>
>>61547672
So basically nothing. Almost like they are inherently unreliable. Weird.
>>
>>61547703
Carbon is a billion times more abundant, already swcnt annual production is about 10% the volume of annual silver consumption with 5-7x that by 2030, its entirely a materials processing challenge
>>
>>61547779
dummy, you just don't understand the technology or the market forces at play. you're example is stupid, and the future is not cnts. sorry.
>>
>>61547879
You can say that but cnts are literally already replacing silver in industrial applications tard
>>
>>61547888
ok, retard, I'm still buying silver.
>>
>>61547690
For what, dogshit multi wall cnt ?
Pray tell, how much is the single walled variety, the one thats going to always be coupled with silver regardless ?
>>
silver won.
>>
>>61547918
No for pure swcnt
>>
>>61547597
I can double my stock portfolio in a month or two with the options I have for HL. I don’t care about two years from now. Once I get a good return I’m move back over to high yield dividend stocks with much more than what I started with.
>>
>>61548053
ah very good, can you tell me how many grams are in a kilogram now ?
>>
>>61548104
Imagine thinking purchasing gram at a time for research is the same as buying bulk tonnes at a time you absolute tard

>>61548126
I'm gonna need more excuses, cryptranny.
MORE EXCUSES!

I miss those threads the silver jews used to make about asteroid mining
>>
>>61548129
Also resistance is a cross sectional area measurement not by kg, so for a given cross section swcnt are 8x less dense than silver meaning they can be 8x more expensive per kg and still cost competitive
>>
>>61548150
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) have a true density of approximately 1.3–2.1 g/cm3 compared to silver's 10.49 g/cm3—a factor of roughly 5–8x lower, aligning with the 8x claim using the lower end of SWCNT density estimates. For a conductor of equivalent cross-section (same A) and assuming comparable resistivity, SWCNT would require ~1/8 the mass of silver for the same volume, allowing them to be up to 8x more expensive per kg while remaining cost-equivalent on a per-unit basis.

That said, this assumes SWCNT can match silver's resistivity (~1.59 × 10-8 Ω·m) in practical applications. Individual metallic SWCNT can achieve comparable or better resistivity (~10-8 Ω·m or lower in ballistic regimes), but macroscopic forms (e.g., bundles, films, yarns) often exhibit higher values (10-5 to 10-3 Ω·m due to junction resistance and defects), requiring larger cross-sections (more material) to achieve equivalent resistance. If resistivity is, say, 10x higher, the density advantage shrinks accordingly for cost competitiveness.

Current pricing as of late 2025 further contextualizes this: High-purity SWCNT range from ~$140,000 - 300,000 per kg depending on quality and supplier (lower for industrial grades, much higher for research-grade), while silver is ~$2,369 per kg. At the low end, SWCNT could already be competitive if density and resistivity advantages hold in specific uses (e.g., composites where less material is needed overall), but high-end prices exceed the 8x threshold by far, limiting broad displacement.
>>
>>61548181
In other words, as I said a breaththrough in Junction bridging and the natural cost reduction of mass scale production will put it at competitive rates as silver for a cross section
>>
>>61548218
>breaththrough

without any realistic timeline or pathway to deployment.

but you present as fait accompli.

in other words: hopium and copium.
>>
>>61548218
in other words, silver won
cope + seethe
>>
>>61548181
This also doesn't take into consideration the superior chemical corrosion resistance of swcnts, lower replacement costs can buyback costs
>>
>>61548232
There are multiple ways of doing already been solved but people just haven't nutted out the scale YET
>>
>>61547404
I hope it goes to zero. Then i will be able to buy it for cheap.
>>
>>61548269
Cool bro and maybe it'll be solved in 5 years and you'll have a phone with cnt in 10 years. In the meantime China is buying silver.
>>
>>61548258
i too can goal post move.

the entire silver extraction, refining, production, and fabrication loop is secure, stable, and mature technlogical moat.

SWCNT must deploy with similar or superior material properties and also upend the existing silver infrastructure supply chain with pure value.

whatever material "superiority" exists must justify the cost of fully retooling and scale displacement.

you are futher assuming that alloyed metallics won't also somehow be superior and in development as well. your super material needs to reduce current costs by a factor of 60x to be comparable with silver.

you are not in the materials science business. you have no horse in this. you have opinions on the internet. maybe SWCNT scale. maybe they don't. your mental state tied to muh technology.

your entire gimmick is presenting that SWCNT are already mature and deployable. provably wrong. take a deep breath and get off the internet.
>>
>>61548401
Alloys of metals are always less conductive than pure elements
>>
>>61547578
Cool. My bingus coin did a 2x in 5 minutes
>>
>>61548409
Alloying was the wrong word to use. I meant coatings. Enjoy your fantasy materials on reddit. I know a redditor when I smell one. 60x reduction in cost or get lost.

Coatings can maintain or effectively improve conductivity:
Silver plating on copper: Widely used for RF/high-frequency applications due to the skin effect (current flows mostly on the surface). Silver's superior conductivity on the surface makes the coated wire perform better than pure copper (and nearly as good as solid silver) while being cheaper and stronger.

>here's your MUH CORROSION RESISTANCE
Gold or silver coatings: Protect against oxidation/tarnish (e.g., in connectors) with minimal conductivity loss, often outperforming uncoated base metals in corrosive environments.

Coatings allow "best of both worlds" approaches—high surface conductivity without bulk alloy penalties—and are common where pure elements alone aren't practical.
>>
>>61548564
In literally the example you give it means reducing the required silver by orders of magnitude lmfao
>>
Late cryptards unable to conceive of investments that don't wildly jump up and down erratically?
>>
>>61548564
The fact you have to use ai as a crutch in a debate online goes to show the iq of the person typing lolll, "quick gbt tell me about cum back !!!"
>>
>>61547404
as i told you in the other thread, dont forget about silvers catalytic uses, they are many and not supplanted by cnts

also this thread lol, it really shows you cannot have a discussion online about technical details anymore
in the past retards would quickly remove themselves from the conversations as they cant formulated a coherent response on their own
but now with ai, the retards and midwits blindly believe the ais output without a shred of understanding about the many many mistakes the ai is making is producing its simplistic output
as i am not going to bother to explain whats wrong with your retardation in detail due to time constraints let me leave you with this:
if ai was capable of producing an accurate result on the questions you ask of it, then half of all white collar jobs would have been deleted already due to efficiency gains

This pathetic fud assumes silver only has industrial value. Remember, silver has been money for most of the world for most of history. And money is half of almost every economic transaction. The demand for remonetized silver will make demand for electronics nothing more than a footnote. Get ready.
>>
>>61547404
it's true, there are replacements for silver that are quickly becoming more economical
