I'd take it 50/50. Just in case one of them fail.  Wink

If you lived in Cyprus or had a bank account there, that $1m USD would have become $128k (~100k EUR), whilst the BTC holder would still have the SAME number of bitcoins!

I would rather have the 8333 bitcoins than the 1000000 dollars.

But if you were going to give them to me, I would take the dollars and use them to buy bitcoins, saving some dollars for my personal spending until bitcoins become more widely accepted. This would push up the price of bitcoins, meaning the first bitcoins I bought would go up in price as I continue buying.

If you take the bitcoins the reverse is true, as you sell them to get more widely accepted dollars you push down the price and the rest of your bitcoins are thus worth less.
