There are also physical gold and silver, which are only slightly inferior to Bitcoin.

The only possible advantage is that you might trade 'em with those barbarians who like shiny things... Meanwhile physical gold and silver are super-easy to detect and steal.

I think it would be foolish to have all your eggs in one basket. Gold, silver, platinum have thousand year track records.
As cool as Bitcoin is, it's still in Beta.

That’s true, but…if you buy a large amount of metals, you do need a (bank) safe. Bitcoins are much easier to keep safe, even in Beta mode:+)

EXACTLY - I have been sayings this for quite some time. Bitcoin is becoming a " wealth reserve asset" fast than a " currency". I am glad to see someone else alluding to this point. I agree.

Thanks!
That's some awesome memorabilia! I love old film stuff like that. I'm not a collector but you would probably get some decent money for that if you find a collector. Old junk like that can be worth more than most people realize.
A friend was scraping for cash to save a historic local theater out near Pittsburgh years ago and things were looking bad. The contractors were all ready to come and tear it all down but a month before the bulldozers rolled they found an original Metropolis poster that fell behind some chairs while they were cleaning the place. They auctioned it quick and that poster saved the theater and paid for the restoration.

Yes, we are inevitably headed in that direction. My concern is that people will get spoiled, so to say, by the huge appreciation of the value of their Bitcoin savings. This will eventually lead to disappointment. Right now, nobody uses bitcoins for savings - they are used as a speculative investment with huge get-rich-fast expectations. It has to end, and when it does, there will be whining and crying by those who misunderstood what Bitcoin is.

I think we'll have bigger things to worry about than finance if there's some sort of solar flare/worldwide blackout situation. I mean seriously, all of the whole entire internetz wiped out? Sure, gold would probably fall back into place as the standard accepted store of value, but within the avergage human lifetime I think you'd be better off investing in guns and rations.

If you're in the affected area and I'm not, you can keep your dildo, you won't be having much fun other than that. What I'm trying to say is that the whole point of bitcoin is it's decentralised nature - It really would have to be a collapse of modern society for bitcoin to get wiped out (As for whether or not bitcoin truly is decentralised, well that's another debate.) I mean, I'm in the UK. If we lose electrical power for a few months, there'll be chaos, but I'm sure the rest of Europe would step in to help out. Unless the rest of Europe was fucked (haha) in which case hopefully we'd get support from elsewhere? But this is scaling up pretty quickly - soon we'll run out of continents to 'step in and help out'. So I'm thinking in a situation where I find my bitcoins to be worthless the world over, I think worrying about conserving my wealth would be a bit of a lost cause.
