This is kind of the nutshell story of American NickelsĬanadian Nickels: Is basically covered already in the opening video by Pierre Poilievre. This is the website if you wish to check it out: īut, probably not a terrible idea to save any older Nickels you come across. The website does confirm the prices were updates as of 07-May,2022, so the price of Nickel is indeed quite stable, at least in terms of recent months. Maybe they haven't updated the website since I last used it, or maybe the price is just really stable. And it looks like that price has held it's position. When I did this post a month or two ago the price of Nickel which apparently they need in order to make EV batteries was at 19.93 USD per Kilogram.

In Pierre Poilievre video, he seems to be throwing around the word 'stainless steal' in a somewhat casual way not conducive to it's exact definition. Chromium is used to make stainless steel, like your kitchen sink or a DeLorean. Technically, nickel is typically used to galvanize steel, like those big cattle troughs, or roofing nails. Ok, so I guess they can overlap, just so I can try to keep this story as accurate as I can. 'Most elements that are siderophile are usually also somewhat chalcophile and vice versa.' I just pulled this off of google: Can an element be both siderophile and chalcophile? Going by the table, it sure looks like it is more close to Iron than it is to Sulphur. Then I pulled this off of google: ' Chalcophile elements, defined as those which have an affinity for a sulfide phase (e.g., Ni, Cu, Se, As, Cd, In), are essential components of many aspects of modern technology (e.g., photovoltaic cells, batteries, wind turbines).'Īnd now, I am left wondering, is Nickel a Chalcophile or is it a Siderophile? Maybe it's both? Pulled this out of google: ' The siderophile elements include the highly siderophilic ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, rhenium, osmium, iridium, platinum, and gold, the moderately siderophilic cobalt and nickel, in addition to the 'disputed' elements mentioned earlier – some sources even include tungsten and silver.' I've even covered some stuff that says if you find a rock of certain appearance that happens to have nickel in it, there is a good chance you have found a meteor. So finding Nickel on the surface of the Earth, I don't think is that common. Lithophiles are elements that liked to hang out with Silicon, and these guys tend to be found on the Earths surface.Ĭhalcophiles liked to hang out with Sulphur.Ītmophiles like to be gases and ended up being the Earths atmosphere. So Iron, and all the elements close to it on the periodic table tend to be found deep in the Earth or the core. Or what they like to call, primordial Earth. Nickel is what they like to call, a siderophile, in that it likes to hang out with iron, or at least that was the case when the Earth was in a state of creation, becoming how it is the way we know it now.

They say Sudbury was actually the site of a meteor landing, and that is how all that Nickel got to be where it is. I have a couple of previously posted videos if you care to really zoom in on monetary system cool he is covering Sudbury and Nickel. They have used inflation and deflation to make 3rd world countries for a long time, used the printing press to make war possible, all sorts of dirty shit. Messing with the slave masters pet monetary system can be a little dangerous. Reference Video Provided By Pierre Poilievre:
