It seems like the best move right now is to hedge btc with an alt, because the alts are going roughly sideways (or a little down) while btc goes up and shooting up when btc goes down.
If banks collapse so will bitcoin because as of now bitcoin is supported 95% by fat wires of speculative fiat to exchanges from banks and their fractional reserve loan system which creates imaginary assets and wealth for people to invest. Once the superhighways of fiat are shutdown nobody will even have any money to invest and there will not be a hand to hand bartering economy with bit coin that supports these price levels. The adoption is not there yet. So don't hope on banks to collapse.
I request everyone to officially rescind all the 'fasten your seat belt' comments over the past days every time it hit 17k. I fastened my seat belt over and over and nothing happened.

Reason 1: If you don't buy you'll miss the boat. Reason 2: If you miss the boat you'll miss the train. Reason 3: If you miss the train you'll miss the rocket.
Thats ridiculous, Nobody on this forum is going to create any movement in a half a trillion dollar market. Maybe I was posting in a Feathercoin board you could say that.
