Silver's Surge Isn't The Squeeze And The Real Move Is Coming Says Clem Chambers

Did a "broken fan" really take down the CME for 10 hours? In this exclusive interview, Clem Chambers (CEO of Online Blockchain PLC) joins Jeremy Szafron to discuss the historic 10-hour blackout at the CME Group. While conspiracy theories swirl, Chambers dismisses them as "noise," arguing the reality is simpler but more dangerous: systemic fragility and "single points of failure" in the market's infrastructure.

Chambers, who publicly exited Bitcoin at $100k, validates his "Crypto Winter" call as Bitcoin breaks $86k. He warns that while the sector is full of "jokers" and "casualties" are inevitable as liquidity drains, the real opportunity lies elsewhere. He argues that a "Retail Juggernaut"—not Central Banks - is the unstoppable force driving Silver to $100, and unveils his highest conviction trade: the "AI Energy Supercycle." Chambers predicts the AI arms race will literally "boil the oceans" to find power, transforming abundant assets like Copper, Silver, and Platinum from commodities into scarce "luxury" goods.
