Reddit Silver Community: r/Wallstreetsilver

The famous Reddit silver community r/Wallstreetsilver has 259,000 members and is in the top 1% of communities on Reddit. This community rose to prominence in early 2021 on the back of the success of r/Wallstreetbets, and contributed  to rising silver prices as new investors clamored to purchase silver in hope of riding a coming “Silver Squeeze” in which big banks would be forced to buy back their silver short positions while sending the silver price to previously unthinkable heights. Though the Silver Squeeze hasn’t happened (yet), r/Wallstreetsilver is still a vibrant community that is filled with investors who love silver and are quite optimistic on its prospects. The moderators who were initially in control of r/Wallstreetsilver were pushed out in mid 2023 and replaced by a rival group of moderators.
