I heard it's because the next generation of solid state batteries will utilize silver (but who knows). Gold has also gone nuts; so I suspect this is not merely related to the utility of silver. This may just be a byproduct of Gold going nuts and people looking for an alternative investment
Silver would be a better use for daily currency than Gold. I heard China (I think) was trying to take physical possession of a large silver purchase and that is when I thought of this aspect. From my understanding, the silver isn't contaminated during the process and could be sold after or be used as you say. It has dual utility.
