Markets / Silver analysis...
Last post by dbreezew - Dec 21, 2025, 12:49 PMJust ran across this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H3Zr9O6nzg We may see quite a shake-up of traditional currencies and commodities. Beware of 'paper' holdings because defaults may be coming....

Discover why silver hitting $67 on a Friday just activated a hidden kill switch that forces banks into a crisis they cannot contain over the weekend, and how this carefully engineered trigger price exposes the fragility of a financial system that your savings, retirement accounts, and daily transactions depend on. This isn't about market volatility—it's about derivative contracts and margin calls that execute automatically at $67, leaving banks with 48 hours before Monday opening to solve a liquidity crisis that decades of leverage made inevitable, and understanding why Friday timing makes this catastrophic helps you protect your wealth before banking instability reaches your local branch.
See how specific price levels trigger automatic liquidation mechanisms in derivative markets that banks cannot stop or delay, and why the Friday timing creates maximum chaos as institutions scramble to meet margin requirements with markets closed and no bailout options until Monday morning. Learn how $67 represents the precise threshold where banks' short positions and leveraged bets become mathematically impossible to maintain, forcing emergency selling that accelerates into a self-reinforcing crisis, and why this kill switch was programmed into the system by the same risk management protocols that were supposed to prevent exactly this kind of meltdown.
Learn the historical patterns where weekend banking crises have repeatedly blindsided customers who assumed their deposits were safe, and why Friday afternoon triggers have consistently preceded the most severe financial emergencies that change everything by Monday."

Last post by dbreezew - Dec 19, 2025, 02:59 PMWhen you get to the "Requests" page there are a few options available to Pioneers to ensure that everything possible is available to resolve your issue.
You only want one active ticket for each separate issue, and make sure that active ticket is complete and correct.
Notice the "Show Details" link, and the "Add Comment" text input box at the bottom.
Your options available will vary depending on the situation/status of the ticket.
Phone users should scroll down for the ticket options available.
"Resolve this Issue" should take the ticket out of active status without deleting it. I don't know what "Escalate" really does, but it sounds encouraging doesn't it..?
This support portal "Requests" page is not likely to get you individual responses from the Core Team, BUT, you can see what the status of your tickets are and take some actions to help resolve your problem. I especially recommend this for those with running KYC Grace Period timers to record/document your attempts to resolve those KYC issues.

Last post by dbreezew - Dec 19, 2025, 02:02 PMStart in the support portal at https://support.help.minepi.com/servicedesk/customer/portals if you don't know if you have a support portal account.
Notice in the top right corner you will see either a "Log In" button; or a User silhouette icon if you are logged in already.
Click the login button and if it's your 1st time I'd recommend using the email address you registered with Pi Network to avoid confusion but any email you can access may work...
This support account is with atlassian/Jira? support essentially and is separate from your Pi Network account... somewhat..?

Last post by dbreezew - Dec 19, 2025, 01:54 PMMy original intent was to provide better tools for effective support for the many Pi Network issues. While there are many things that no Pioneer or even the Pi Mods can do anything about, at least we can clarify what can be done and what can't.
The biggest Pi Network support tool I feel is greatly under-utilized is the support portal 'Requests' review page...
https://support.help.minepi.com/servicedesk/customer/user/requests?page=1&reporter=all&statuses=open
I'll try to do screenshots from both my PC and my phone... and, I'll show you how to get there in the replies to this Topic.
