Title: I figure that swapping bitcoin for silver is a good buy
Post by: goldlyre on October 23, 2013, 09:36:16 AM
I figure that swapping bitcoin for silver is a good buy. One coin's price can buy me 9.2 oz silver, and I think it's a good buy.  8)

You'll be kicking yourself when one coin can by you 92 ozes of silver  ;)

Securing profits into a hedge is wise. But if you wait about 10 days to sell coins you might only get about 6 oz of silver per coin.
Better don't buy silver now, sell coins for fiat, buy at the bottom and then sell for silver when it comes back to 200$ (or more) again.

If only we could pick exactly when the top and bottom will be, for all we know this could be teh final climb to da moon.

Silver is a great investment but not sure it will outperform bitcoins. I think 1 bitcoin might get you an ounce of gold within the next year

Of course silver won't outperform bitcoins, not even close, but a trojan can't steal your silver bars.  ;)

Really?  I would like to see your response when you open your door to this dude demanding your silver:

LOL. But that's a hoplite or maybe a centurion, and that kind of armor is several centuries younger than the Trojans.

And in my country silver bars can't be confiscated at a whim, I live in the EU, which is still not a police state.

As bitcoin fiat value goes up higher denomination coins like this will be harder to sell as there will be less and less people who have that much bitcoin to store.

Mike did a great job on this coin, but if i'm not mistaken he is sold out on it currently and it was in a time the that price of bitcoin was much lower than it is now.

Trojan can't steal my bitcoins. Silver bars can always be confiscated (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102) ;)

That's why Goat has burried his silver in some field (or so he claims).

That's what people in the US thought... until it was confiscated along with gold in 1933.

I don't think silver was confiscated in 1933 only gold and various gold certificates.

Swapping bitcoin for silver is prudent if your looking for stability but I think swapping bitcoin for litecoin may result in nice speculative gains short term (over the next few months).  I traded a small amount of bitcoin for litecoin and peercoin today.

Things changes, It can not happen again. Anyway, only fool wouldnt dig his gold to prevent the confiscation.

No.  I stated silver wasn't confiscated in 1933.  Where are you getting your info that silver was confiscated in 1933?  US Coinage was still made from silver until 1976.

Ok, I guess even that direct statement was to subtle for you, so let me be blunt: If gold can be confiscated, so can silver, so can copper, so can rocks, so can your home, so can you land, so can your baseball cards, so can your stocks, so can your wife.

More clear?

What is this grammar police?  Of course it can be ordered.  I simply responded to the poster who stated silver was confiscated in 1933.  Learn to read.  The larger the use network the harder to confiscate so I'm pretty sure confiscating rocks or copper would be impractical.  BTW the whole 1933 gold confiscation was mainly aimed at certificates, bank deposits.  That's the reason people like silver since it has many industrial uses and would be extremely impractical to confiscate.

Dude stop the BS. You were clearly implying silver cannot be confiscated. Learn to read your own posts. The inner most 3 ones make this whole thing clear enough.

My bad, it was 1917.  I don't think there was seizure of physical silver, but the penalty for storing value with it was up to 10 years imprisonment and a fine up to $10,000.  And that was when the dollar was worth something.
