copper has the full weight of human history on its side (the early Bronze Age was preceded by a Copper Age) and is crystallographically, chemically, metallurgically, and physically related to silver and gold, its heavier periodic table neighbors
but I'm voting for molybdenite as a worthy underdog

Because it is so new, and because humans so recently learned how to use Mo and Re, I’m voting for the future of #Molybdenite and Space Age metallurgy. Mo and Re turn common metals into superconductive superalloys, with higher boiling points, improved weldability and corrosion resistance. 3/3
