people think of silver as really expensive and valuable and yeah it's more expensive than most metals at something like 10~20× the price of say, titanium or tungsten, but it's only like 1% the price of gold

for that matter, people think of platinum as super valuable, more than gold, but it's actually worth less than gold according to wolfram alpha

@Felthry wow yeah platinum is like half the cost of gold

@Felthry Silver is one of my favorite metals.

I have a lot of favorite metals, though.
