I wonder how many hardcore goldbugs will completely dismiss this.  ::)

I do.  And I'm still up more in silver than in Bitcoin.  But getting pretty close, and if I count all of my Ag purchases (which is only fair) I am pretty sure that I am actually doing better in Bitcoin than silver at this point.

You are not what I consider a hardcore goldbug otherwise you wouldn't be willing to own bitcoins.

That's crazy. I remember when we reached parity with the $USD. That was exciting enough.

Man I  regret not trading a few rounds for bitcoins a couple of weeks ago like my instincts told me.

And I got in when it was trying to reach it again, albeit from the opposite direction. And to think I thought copper cents were a good investment with only 200% margin.

Today's market cap is only ~$300M. For Bitcoin to truly be on the radar, it would need a market cap of at least $10B. If it reaches that plateau with 16M bitcoins mined, that would make each bitcoin valued at $625 USD--another ~21X jump.

Then I'll be able to retire on my goat ranch with Maria.

EDIT: More math: $1T market cap with if all coins mined (21M bitcoins) equates to $47,619.04 USD each. I'm willing to bet that Roger Ver has that equation pinned on all four walls in his office.

Nice plan Phinnaus; you, Goat and Maria on a farm declaring sovereignty under the 10th amendment. It's almost biblical.

It's a start, but needs some natural disasters, murder, sodomy, etc stirred in.

Might be 'an idea worth hoarding.' :D

Bitcoin has grown well above $29 while Silver is struggling below it for the past couple days now.

Parity was not just a brief kiss, it has held :)
Even taking into account exchange fees and transfer times, someone could have traded their BTC 1:1 for Silver this week. Awesomeness!
Yeah, last night I got out a 1oz. round and thought about it as a bitcoin. I would sell some of them, but diversification is also part of my portfolio.
Look out gold, here we come!  >:(

Well, although I am confidant, I wouldn't be so quick to say, "it has held".

Two years from now, no problem. ;)

Two years from now, we will not be saying, "it has held," we will be saying, "1 BTC has reached parity with 1 gold oz."

I think a brief kiss just about describes the way bitcoins zipped past silver without even noticing it.
