Hi Ez
There are all sorts of big players
There are companies which buy huge amounts of silver for production (50% of sales ) and a cheaper price is very good for them

Others buy it to stock pile for the future so there is a difference in the reason people are into silver

Others just like to hold it and touch it
to bring a bodily part into contact with especially so as to perceive through the tactile sense :
handle or feel gently usually with the intent to understand or appreciate
