Copper is doing that thing where it makes you feel smart and stupid at the exact same time—because it’s sitting at an all-time high, and then you’ll still see it selling for even higher in the real world. In this video I dig into what that actually means for stackers, collectors, and anyone eyeing copper as the “cheap metal” play. I’m talking about the difference between spot/market price versus what people are paying retail, and why premiums and availability can make copper look like it’s breaking physics. I also hit the big question: is now the time to jump into copper? I’m not here to tell you I’m a professional anything—I’m just sharing how I think about it as a precious metals stacker who watches deals, hunts in the wild, and likes to test ideas before I go all-in. If you’re thinking about stacking copper, the takeaway is simple: don’t just look at the chart—look at what it costs to actually buy, ship, store, and eventually sell. And yep—swag update. I’ve got new patches in the Etsy shop, including new Stacker patches, and I explain my custom community patch setup where creators can earn $2 per patch sold. If you want the coolest velcro-backed pirate-grade patch game, you already know where to go.
