    There is definitely a split going on. I'm still a big believer in gold and silver. Why I won't be selling any of those either. But you have to diversify, and evolve. I know with all the reading and research I've done that even IF there were to be a gold backed currency they would still control it. With this, at least in its current form they cannot control it. I saw an article yesterday where the Bank Of England proposed backing Bitcoins with Gold. Backing means control, enough said. They own the vast majority of it, and will make the rules they see fit to continue their positions. That isn't going to change unless we stop playing their game.

    Maybe younger generations just have a lesson to learn? I don't hate bitcoins, it is a bubble, it is not different this time compared to the millennium Internet bubble, the PM-bubble of 1979-80, the stock market bubble of late 20's, or the tulip bulb bubble of 17th Century Holland, a few made a fortune, a lot more lost a lot, some everything. Can bitcoins go up to $10,000 or even $100,000? Yes, it is possible, but I am not going to line up to buy it then either. It has no substance. I don't buy something without substance, and its fluctuations makes it a terrible choice of medium of exchange...

    If you betting on individual coins that all do the same thing, holding onto any of them for the sake of the overall markets demand, is neglecting the requirement for a simple solution. Netscape browser is a good example of when someone else comes along and does the same thing better than you. Bitcoin itself is due to run into a wall and have to deal with competition soon.

    Absolutely Free markets (in this case open source) are most vulnerable to centralization, unless there is a proprietary market that they are well established to operate in solely, a larger centralized free fish will come and gobble up all the smaller fish. Windows is a good example.

    What these fundamentally provide is a utility to move money freely, one has to price the market based at what it costs to move the money now. E-coins are not money, they are utility to currency.

    Gold and silver are also now silly "investments". Just ask Mamboni. Buy ammo now because the population is so insane they think Bitcoins will soon be worth $100,000. Just observe how quickly "Gold-Silver.US" has become "Bitcoin-US".




    I'm "investing" in ammo now

    I'm afraid you may be right. Precious metals aren't going anywhere as long as the digital currency mania is in progress.
    It really might be time to sell gold and silver.

    I don't think the younger generations ever really got the idea of precious metals.
    The stock market crowd sure doesn't care about PM's.

    Who does that leave to buy metals...a shrinking middle class of baby boomers with stagnant wages?

    It looks like the money has moved on to bigger and better.

    If the Goldman Sachs Jews are right, they're going to take gold down below $1,000. Where does the put silver...$14/$15?
    DON'T TAKE THE VACCINE!

    THE SHIT HAS HIT THE FAN!

    You can keep calling it a bubble until your blue in the face. A bubble is when the vast majority of the people know about it. Its still far from a bubble, or even a mania. Current exchange volumes the world over preclude it from being a bubble. Less than 3% of the 12 million of Bitcoins that currently exist are traded on a daily basis. How is that a bubble? Even by the examples you listed that still doesn't compare to a bubble.

    I understand the no substance part, and you're right. You can't hold it, see it, or even touch it. (although there are physical coins that's beside the point) That is a limitation or hurdle that will prevent early adoption by those who can't do the above. But that still doesn't negate it's usefulness.

    You can't sit there and tell any of us here that Gold and Silver are not manipulated in favor of those who think they rule us. If they created a backed currency, how would it change when they determine the value?

    The wild fluctuations you are seeing are birth pains. You think the dollar was stable when it was first introduced? Even with a gold backing? Silver dropped dramatically when the comstock load was discovered. That wasn't just within the U.S. either that was globally.

    Gold and Silver are a store of value, always have been, always will be. But the market is determining due to outright control and manipulation of those currencies that it will decide to use something else.

    Central banks do not like crypto currencies and keep warning people to stay away. Do you want to be seen in the same light as they? They who have controlled our monetary system for the past 300 years while they enrich themselves and their families at the expense of yours?

    Look, Book and his useless pictures again.

    You have no idea what equipment is required for mining. Since ASIC's have come into the mining game, one mining pool alone has more processing power than the top 500 worlds super computers COMBINED.

    But keep thinking it's controlled and mined by the NSA.
