Headline should be: copper cheaper than you thought

Cocoa being more expensive might be better paid workers and better living standards right?

I was stunned at how cheap copper is after being linked BigStackD on YouTube and watching him melt copper into a bunch of copper bars that ended up totaling like 35USD

copper in the context of itself is actually pretty cheap. the problem copper has is that copper is reletively expensive when compared to other common metals, hence why in some industries, copper usage is being cut back more (e.g heatsinks, as copper is commonly used for its great heat transfer coefficient, but reletively speaking, is more expensive than aluminum, while cheaper and lighter, doesnt conduct heat as well as copper)
