I don't think it can be a coincidence that gold, bitcoins and even silver to some extent are at incredible lows at the same time. Anyone care to offer their explanation of why they think this is the case?
None are at "incredible lows."
Lets not turn this into a battle of semantics. I am talking in the short term. From the period of now to say...4 months ago, prices of gold, bitcoins and silver are lower than they have been.
Also, I realize they are separate markets. And yes, PMs are used as a hedge against inflation, so one is compelled to think inflation is slowing down as PMs are decreasing in price. You don't think this same affect has anything to do with bitcoins? That people aren't looking for alternate means of investment because the dollar is getting stronger?
Another question...what do you think will be worth more in 6 months? $1,000 in gold or $1,000 in BTC?
