'The simple fact is that after a 13-year run, investors are selling. Spare me your central bank stories. The market doesn't care how you feel about monetary policy right now. Selling is contagious. And right now, it's getting close to a pandemic.Investors are selling gold ETFs at a record pace. Approximately 106 tonnes of bullion was dumped in February, according to CNNMoney. That's the biggest monthly sell-off ever. That's where your selling pressure is coming from — whether you like it or not.The gold cycle is turning. Avoid the ETFs and miners. If you own them, get out now. These will be the most vulnerable investments as the drop approaches.'

It would be delightful to me if PMs dropped a bunch (and there was physical availability) because I would rather take whatever profits I'm going to take out of Bitcoin straight into PMs rather than go through fiat.  And I don't like sitting on fiat.  Even better would be if a lot of private individuals got all worked up about Bitcoin so I could find willing trading partners for PMs and other things.


sig spam anywhere and self-moderated threads on the pol&soc board are for losers.
Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Gold beaten hard.

Bitcoin collapsing badly.

Nobody called the top this time...

Actually, Trace Mayer did in a 21 March 2013 article:

Quote
And greater confidence for VCs means higher Bitcoin prices. So where should the next target be? Well, given the fundamental state of the space as it currently is along with current growth rates therefore I think a fair value price for bitcoins is around 3-7 bitcoins per ounce of gold. It will be fun to watch the price melt-up to that over the short to medium term so get out the popcorn to watch this rocket.

$1560/$266=5.86

Right smack in the middle of 3-7 bitcoins per ounce of gold.

The current correction has taken it to about 10.2 bitcoins per ounce of gold. So expect a consolidation with a gradual closing of the ratio. This will probably be a combination of both an increase in the price of bitcoins and a decrease in the price of gold.

You forgot " Cool"

But in all seriousness it could fall quite a bit further before the butterfinger newbsteak coefficient falls down to early march levels again.

I'm wondering: Since you wrote about your concern regarding people levering their way to ride this run, don't you think this could have been prevented by not advertising potential gains like it was done?

How did you arrive at 3-7 BTC / oz AU ?

Bitcoin is the first monetary system to credibly offer perfect information to all economic participants.

Bitcoin may be having some temporary, short term problems but look at this huge long term problem:

Although its hard to do an update at this time, perhaps now is also when it is most valuable.

the silverbox update (comparison from the beginning of this thread, March 13th, 2012, gold=1690, nasdaq=3055, Bitcoin=5.4):
Bitcoin is 71.90.  Gold is 1525.00.  Nasdaq is 3300.00
Bitcoin: 1231.48%
Gold:    -9.76%
Nasdaq:  8.02%
Gold Diff:  1376% advantage Bitcoin and Shrinking
Nasdaq Diff:  1133% advantage Bitcoin and Shrinking


This thread was started in the period of stability after first bubble popped.  If you had invested then, your investment has outperformed gold and stocks by over 10 times!  And if you had invested at the "bottom" (around $2) you would be looking at 20x returns!  In less then 2 years. 

Bitcoin is on an exponential adoption curve.  This is so exciting that it periodically gets ahead of itself.  Way ahead.  Don't beat yourself up for not selling near the top... if you had done so you would essentially have been simply taking that money from new investors, rather then due to a fundamental growth in Bitcoin.  I guess the consolation prize for feeling guilty is being rich :-).  But since you are reading a thread about gold, I'm guessing long term investment not trading is a major part of your strategy; don't lose sight of that now.

A thought for those who are showing a paper loss -- for those who bought during this bubble:  You have a decision.   You can sell and take a real loss, reducing your portfolio diversification, taking a position in an inflating currency, and losing any chance of taking advantage of the volatility next time.  Or you can keep your money in bitcoins, recognizing its significant volatility on top of exponential growth.  If you had bought at the very top of the last bubble you'd be up over 100% right now.  Or see this as a buying opportunity.  Personally I don't see the choice as difficult.

And finally, a note about the future... during the last bubble people really thought that it was "the end of bitcoin".  Today, there is that history to look back on.  And people will look back on it and make investment decisions accordingly.  This is clearly not the end; there is life after a bubble.  In fact the Bitcoin story is still just beginning.

Sell all your gold everyone, the big money wants it cheap.

Do you think it's coincidence that gold gets downgraded and negative press a weeks before Cyprus have to hand theirs over? EU laughing all the way to the bank.

It's not just unstable countries like Cyprus. Northern European countries are (and have been for the last decades) dumping their gold like crazy to keep the socialistic systems afloat a little longer. it's not like they need anything but empty-promises to back our paper anymore.

Who? Germans are repatriating gold, why do you think that is?. Gordon Browne sold UK's because the Germans came looking in the late 1990s, UK is screwed. Cyprus is being forced to hand over gold to ECB. Russia, China, India buying record amounts of gold.
Record levels of physical gold being withdrawn from vaults.

Arizona passes law gold/silver legal tender.

This is accelerating much faster than I ever imagined.
