One thing is certain the person or people who created it are/have already made millions or hundreds of millions and are laughing their asses off no matter what happens from here.
Ok... Prove it. The early adopters also spent obscene amounts on hardware with very little return in the beginning. At first it started with mining with CPU's people just letting it run on their computers. No return, maybe 1-2 cents AT MOST for a single bitcoin. A year or so goes by and someone figures out you can mine bitcoins using GPU (Graphical Processing Units / video cards) Some people built entire rigs just dedicated to mining bitcoins with 2-3 graphics cards per motherboards whose sole purpose was to mine bitcoins. Again bitcoin at this time was trading for wide swings of 5 to 25 dollars per coin. It was a wide unstable margin.

Then ASIC mining was invented (Around the time Madfranks and I got in on the action, no I don't have my ASIC miner yet).

Speed up a couple months and the European Union starts imploding. Gold / Silver is locked up by the early adopters / banksters from the previous gold standard but if you want paper shares you can have as many as your heart desires. At 1,600+ an ounce it really isn't economical to dump your entire life savings into a currency that you can't buy or trade for shit online with. The more integrated the modern world is, the more need there is for an electronic medium of exchange. Bitcoin solves that, and greatly reduces transaction fees, it's stateless, borderless, and no central bank can claim it.

The creators of bitcoin making millions? Sure if you mean the diehard miners maybe if they already have the equipment to do it. Who benefits if silver and gold go up in price? It sure as hell isn't us. It's a store of value, it maintains purchasing power. But try leaving the country with it.
