Would you put all your savings money into BTC?

[PenAndPaper]

Saving money shouldn't cost anything. They should be paying you.

For what, the privilege of keeping your money safe?

I think he talks about money in bank accounts. Actually they pay you.

Has anyone come up with a protection against someone putting a gun to my head?

1. Hire bodyguards.
2. Have your own gun.
3. Avoid those places that have "bad" guns. (People are bad, not the guns, just to clarify.)
4. Don't actually have the bitcoins or private keys stored where you can easily access them. Send them offshore.

I am thinking of offering up a service where I keep your private keys offline, and the only way for you to use them or withdraw is to come here and get it in person.

I have the same question here. Putting 50% of my FIAT into BTC? Or something else? But what? Gold? The US Government manipulates the Gold price how they want. But I´m sure if BTC gets big enough, they will do the same with BTC.

My savings were on the bank for 2-3 years now and bringed me in a few hundred Euros. But Im actually also not sure to get in BTC at this high price.

Would you put all your savings money into BTC rather than at the bank?

Buy some prostitutes. You will not regret your loss this way.

[JTrain_51]

no, but I wouldn't put all my savings in a bank neither 

Lol , that shoebox in the closet 

I would invest a little into btc but not to to much

[Domrada]

If you keep all your savings in BTC, at least you can be certain it won't be stolen.

Yeah, because they don't keep your money safe. They lend it out to others.

The comment was about how things should be. I wouldn't include fractional-reserve banking in that hypothetical.

So you are against lending money in general or against banks being among the few organizations/companies that have the right to lend?

Certain? How can you be certain?
You can feel more secure than with cash but certain? Nope.

Keeping money is punished because of inflation, you have to invest your money in precious metals, start business, or buy land to keep the value of your money

I'm sure that nobody ever regretting wasting money on a prostitute...

I also would be against "banks being among the few organizations/companies that have the right to lend" if I thought that were the case, but fortunately it isn't.

What are the alternatives? From where i come it's illegal to lend money if you are not a bank

I very much doubt that. Ursury will probably be illegal though

You doubt about what? That it's illegal for other legal entities except banks to lend to people? I mean that's the very reason that loan sharks exist in the first place.

They pay you 1% while inflation is 8%.

How about you put 50% of your savings in BTC. See how it goes, then do 80%.  Don't put 100%. You may need cash fast one day.

We have actually a negative inflation (-0.5%).
Sucks to live in a shitty country like usa or most eastern europe countries.

You get 1%!?!  Lucky.

The only solid calculation is based on what you can purchase with the same fiat money.
You can't take houses and cars into this, because there are other factors involved.

Daily goods, electronics,... are a better indicator.

Alternatives to what? Everyone has the right to lend. I don't even know what you're talking about when you suggest that only banks have that right.

From where do you come that it's illegal to lend money if you're not a bank?

Ok so tell me a place other than a bank that i can take a loan. Last time i checked loan sharks aren't exactly legal.

yes, I very much doubt that's illegal yes. What outlandish police state do you live where you aren't allowed to lend out your own money?

I believe it is illegal to lend money in some countries, probably muslim ones, isnt lending sin there? I known christians treated lending money as sin in the past
