Silver isn’t just a store of wealth or a shiny coin in a collection, its has real-world uses that most people don’t even realise. For centuries, silver has been prized for its amazing antimicrobial properties. Long before antibiotics were produced on mass, people used silver to preserve water, line food containers, and even dressing infected wounds. Today, that same principle lives on in modern medicine.

You will find silver woven into wound dressings and hospital bandages, where it helps to prevent infections. Catheters and surgical instruments are sometimes coated in silver to reduce the risk of bacterial growth. Even some water filtration systems and household products use silver ions to keep things clean and safe.

For stackers like us, this adds another dimension to silver’s value. It’s not just a monetary asset or a hedge against inflation, it’s a metal with a proven, ongoing role in keeping people healthy. Unlike paper money, which only serves one purpose, silver’s utility stretches from investment portfolios to hospital wards.

When I look at my stack, I see more than ounces and spot prices. I see a metal that humanity has always relied on, and will continue to rely on , whether it’s in coins, bars, or even saving lives. And that’s why I think silver’s future is as bright as its past.

In my last ten years of Nursing I see more and more silver based products coming into the Health Industry. Silver nitrate solution 2% was a first for cleaning and treating post surgical wounds that have been stubborn or antibiotic resistant infections. I've seen some dozy wounds treated by this solution. I can see Silver used everywhere in a Health care setting.
