It´s really hard not to invest in Altcoins at the moment.
If you look at the charts basically every coin gains day after day and I am sitting with my BTC stash (crying) ;-)
Consistent higher lows on the daily. This is the dip. Badger is going to punch everyone’s lights out in February. If you must dabble in alts, go chase pumps with lunch money.

I think one of the reason why the Core team insists on soft fork and no hard fork is for backward compatibility, so that someone can still run their strip-down 0.5.3 node.
But I presume everyone already knows that if you bury those paper wallets in the backyard, it is going to turn into dust in a few years. Same thing as if someone bury those fiat cash (non polymer ones), you will end up with only those shiny metallic security stripe. Some govt/bank will allow you to exchange those metallic security stripe into new notes, but don't bet on it.
So if people insist on burying their paper wallet, use something like CryptoSteel or just stamp your private keys (part of it or "encrypted") onto metal sheets or AU kilobars.
Also, I wouldn't bury it in the backyard. Way better to bury it INSIDE your home, properly isolate it in multiple vacuum sealed bags, inside weatherproof plastic container add some sweet cement and put a real tile over it so that it is homogeneous with the rest of your floor. Great option for very long term safe storage. The more long term, the deeper the bury. Best protection over $5 wrench too.... consider it a (noisy and laborious) multiple hour open delay switch.

Over 2 years ago I left $2 worth of dust on an exchange I (obviously) don't frequent. Now there's $14 worth of bcash, and $77 of BTC. That's amusing.
Still haven't got the patience to even try accessing Kraken. Who knows, by the time I can log in, the dust there might be enough to retire (again?) on...

Yup, that has been taken into account Also, most of what I have is NOT buried yet. And my heirs (my parents as I don't have sons) are very well-off (much more than me atm) and don't need the money AT ALL. They would get the real state, stocks and bank accounts in any case. So yeah, I think I have the pros and cons well balanced here. Will readjust if the situation changes in the future... like Bitcoin doing another 10x or something ridiculous like that.

Inflation is coming. Whatever it does to BTC, fuck if I know because BTC is already in a bubble, but I know what it's going to do to metals which are in an inverse bubble: The r0ach report 30: Gold and silver unbelievers will soon believehttp://steemit.com/money/@r0achtheunsavory/the-r0ach-report-30-gold-and-silver-unbelievers-will-soon-believeThe combination of Trump tax plan (deficit spending into no bid bond market) + 1 trillion dollar infrastructure plan is either going to completely reverse the collapse in money velocity and ignite 1970's inflation to the moon, or the entire league of ivory tower, fraudulent economists will be completely bewildered that money velocity continues to collapse and do something like QE4 on top of that. Either way, they're going to force inflation somehow in the end no matter what and it's going to be yuge.
The metals market is already responding with people front running this right now. The last time they did something like this, gold and silver both went up 10x in inflation adjusted dollars in the span of 8 years. I think this time the inflation might hit harder over a shorter time span (once they ever manage to get it started that is). If stocks collapse, all retirement funds collapse and the establishment gets overthrown by the boomercucks. Betting on stocks collapsing is probably not a good idea when they're clearly trying to engineer 1970's inflation to debase the unservicable debt + prop up the stock market.
In terms of metals price, gold should already be $2400-2600 or so right now when looking at gold to debt ratio charts. Silver would spike to around $75-85 when gold corrects there in current dollar purchasing power. Howerever, if they actually do ignite 70's inflation, the metals prices are going to go off the charts.

Are you being genuine in your post? Who gives a shit? BTC prices appreciated more than 7.5x in early August in less than 4 months from $2,600 to $19,666 with a recent 43% correction - yet BTC prices currently hovering in the $13.5k arena... which is still more than 5x from its early August launching point. What the fuck do you expect? price appreciations every minute of the day? Perhaps guys gonna get fucked (or is the official word r3ckt?) when they get so fucking anxious that they just cannot ride out a bit of up and down waves and feel some compelling needs to move to other products - that likely are understood as inferior products. Maybe part of the problem is that there is fear and lack of knoweldge and lack of confidence in bitcoin, and either to believe some of the bullshit propaganda that bitcoin is broken or to buy into some hype that price pumping movements of alternative coins reflect actual value? Just HODL on tight. There are likely no problems in bitcoin that are not going to be resolved... Sure there are no guarantees, but we have ups and downs and ups, and there are not really any fundamentals that are negative in terms of bitcoin that should take away from ongoing upwards price pressures that have a decent chance to continue to push BTC prices up... and perhaps even inversely to varoius alts that you are currently considering as distraction investment points.
