There are many non-serious projects at this forum section. Wasting time on figuring out which ones are serious and which ones
are not is bad deal. Spamming-out to second+ page of even slightly "lagging" projects happens almost daily. Why simply not
create child section for games and other entertainment stuff? Longer exposure for each branch, desired content easier to find.

So yes i will have it, drop me an email!

Exactly.  The decline in purcashing power of the dollar is pushing the longer multi-year trend however anyone saying silver is "stable" just uneducated.   The daily and weekly moves aren't suddenly caused by a major change in purcashing power of the dollar.

I mean if it was then one would expect McDonald's combo meal to be $4 this week, $5 last week, and $2.25 at the start of the year.  Sometimes during the day the price of a meal will jump $0.50 while you are standing in line.

o.O, on page 7, the same number 539 came up twice 
Which makes it the second time xD

Maybe next time!

That is precisely why I worded it the way I did.

That's not the whole story though. Gold value measured in FRNs does not experience such wild % swings, primarily because the gold market is several times larger than the silver market. The bottom line is silver and BTC value measured in FRNs fluctuates a lot. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it can cause one to experience sleepless nights until you have been through a few corrections. 

It's value in fiat changes a lot.



Gold is rather tranquil by comparison.

Funny! Silver is the 2nd most volatile commodity out there, just behind bitcoins.

Thanks for sharing everyone. I agree in a diverse portfolio, too. Why is it so important for bitcoins to be physical? I know there are some services that send your coins to "cold storage" and effectively put them on paper. I think as long as you have a good wallet there is no need for BTC to become physical. The only benefit to them becoming physical (I'm assuming in addition to digital) is that it would facilitate face to face transactions. But in a world of smartphones and other capable devices, I don't think its really practical or necessary to have bitcoins be a physical entity.
I also wanted to point out that bitcoins are similar to precious methods when you think about it. I think merely making money and keeping it in the bank is a terrible idea of investing. Our money supply (thanks to the Fed) has the potential to be infinite, leading to deflation, making your hard-earned dollars constantly worth less. Did you know the Fed plan to eliminate the penny nickel and dime? That should say something. Our money isn't even worth the cheap metal alloys its minted on. I like BTC because their supply is finite. I understand that not all BTC in existence have been "mined", and thus there might be temporary lapses in their value. But, once all bitcoins are mined, no more are going to be produced. This is just like precious metals. Supply remains constant, while demand does not-that is the essence of an investment. I just think its really something to be impressed about that people are trading precious metals for Bitcoins. My portfolio will remain diversified-I have bitcoins and I have Silver. Money in the bank-of course some, but I have very little faith in the dollar. My portfolio contains lots of real estate, stock, precious metals and now...Bitcoins.

Not sure I follow. Both silver and BTC are fairly volatile investments in terms of FRNs.

I have both and I like them equally. Forced to choose which to put fiat into right at this time I'd choose BTC, largely because I have more into AG, but also because I have some investments I'd like to capitalize.
