assuming bitcoin rises 100% per year (6% per month) and silver 10% per year (0.8% per month) it should happen in 15 months (bitcoin: $36, silver: $35).

That would put it in April 2014

A TROY ounce weighs heavier than a traditional ounce measurement used for something like, say cooking ingredients for instance.

Usually around 30+ grams

31.1 grams sound about right for eagles, maples leaves, philharmoniker

See? This is why bitcoin will beat silver. The barrier to entry on the silver market is too high! We can't even figure out how much an ounce of silver is! At least we know 1 bitcoin is 1 bitcoin, there are no regional interpretations like, in Canada, 1 bitcoin is actually 1.125 BTC.

Has nothing to do with the barrier of entry, just that some ignorant nobody doesn't know how much a troy ounce is doesn't mean that he'll get anything else than everybody when he buys "an ounce" of silver.

What really matters is if those who would be interested in the investment have the cash to acquire it. And they know what they get.
With silver that is definitely the case, historically, with bitcoin it is uncertain, although it could surpass it someday.

Sorry mucus, I was being tongue-in-cheek, with the irony being that I can't even explain what a bitcoin is.

bitcoin is much more liquid, though.

try buying an ounce of silver and sell it again on the same day and see what's left. We even pay 7% (or 9%?) sales tax on silver in germany.

also: with bitcoin you can buy stuff Wink

I still have a bet settlement outstanding where a friend has to buy me a t-shirt using 1oz silver coin. Looking forward to that experience.

yep, this is why I hate keeping gold and especially silver, it's fucking difficult to store and try to get a fair price when you sell (unless the market is crazy bullish)

well yeah.. except that 1 Casascius Bitcoin will set you back 1.1BTC if you buy 100+ at a time.
I wouldn't part with my Casascius coins for just face value.
