It's silver. The original altcoin.
It reached nearly $48 in 1980, fueled by speculation, inflation fears, and frenzy. And yet, over the past 45 years... it has never closed a single week or month above that peak.
Let that sink in.
Despite several rallies, economic crises, and hype cycles around precious metals, the historical peak of silver remains intact.
It's a chart frozen in time, spikes, retracements, but no sustained break.
Now here’s the uncomfortable question for crypto:
Is this the fate of all altcoins?
Everyone in the space wants to see ETH close a week above $4,900... or XRP above $3.32... not just to mark new peaks, but to prove that they are not just modern money, a flash of euphoria, then decades of underperformance.
It's been 4 years for SETH and 7 years for $XRP.
Until these weekly candles close above these key levels, this doubt persists.
