I think swapping bitcoin for litecoin may result in nice speculative gains short term (over the next few months).  I traded a small amount of bitcoin for litecoin and peercoin today.

Enjoy your altcoins, thanks for your bitcoins

And in my country silver bars can't be confiscated at a whim, I live in the EU, which is still not a police state.

That's what people in the US thought... until it was confiscated along with gold in 1933.

I don't think silver was confiscated in 1933 only gold and various gold certificates.

What? You think gold can be confiscated, but no way no how, that silver can be confiscated? Where is the logic? 

No.  I stated silver wasn't confiscated in 1933.  Where are you getting your info that silver was confiscated in 1933?  US Coinage was still made from silver until 1976.

Ok, I guess even that direct statement was to subtle for you, so let me be blunt: If gold can be confiscated, so can silver, so can copper, so can rocks, so can your home, so can you land, so can your baseball cards, so can your stocks, so can your wife.

More clear?

What is this grammar police?  Of course it can be ordered.  I simply responded to the poster who stated silver was confiscated in 1933.  Learn to read.  The larger the use network the harder to confiscate so I'm pretty sure confiscating rocks or copper would be impractical.  BTW the whole 1933 gold confiscation was mainly aimed at certificates, bank deposits.  That's the reason people like silver since it has many industrial uses and would be extremely impractical to confiscate.

Dude stop the BS. You were clearly implying silver cannot be confiscated. Learn to read your own posts. The inner most 3 ones make this whole thing clear enough.

My bad, it was 1917.  I don't think there was seizure of physical silver, but the penalty for storing value with it was up to 10 years imprisonment and a fine up to $10,000.  And that was when the dollar was worth something.

And what is that definition?

Yes '33 was when the USD was killed. (The gold backing was significantly reduced).
