I have a different theory for the silver drop. The gold value has not gone up significantly. So this ratio drop is caused by a drop in the silver price. People are fleeing to cash now. They still value gold and keep it. But the impact on silver demand this time is Bitcoin. It appears to be even better than gold. Why settle for silver when you can buy Bitcoin? Bitcoin may be replacing silver on its rise to catch up to gold.
