Gold is boring... you can beat its YTD gains in a single BTC bounce. It's also much more stable and far less likely to go to zero. That's the tradeoff. Bitcoin is at best a wild gamble, and at worst a pyramid scheme. But yeah, you can make mad loot (temporarily) with btc's volatility. |

Trading bitcoin is the easiest thing in the world, nothing like gambling. Especially now with many of the swings being based on breaking news. You just need to short/go long before the masses got informed. |

It still sort of works if you have the balls to do it.  The bitstamp panic of last night is a great example. |

Breaking $1300 A welcomed reversal indeed. LOL, having shorted Bitcoin at $10 to buy gold at $1900 the reversal is a long way away. So far in fact I've lost all hope in gold ever living up to any meaningful return. I just keep it around as insurance for if we go back to the dark ages, and so my kids can melt it to make wedding rings for there friends. |

Hopefully u didnt overextend urself and need to sell any now. But besides gold, silver is the smart play, it is gonna fly past it's ATH in no time. |

Even a broken clock is right once a day. If you aren't flexible and realistic in your investment strategy, you'll fail hard. The smart thing was to convert to gold around $800-1000 USD/BTC. We'll see when it makes sense to convert back. |

We'll see when it makes sense to convert back. In hindsight this is obvious. But did you know that also at the time? For myself, I believe that shorting Bitcoins is very dangerous and I'm not going to do it (B&H instead for me). This may not make maximal profits, but I feel confident doing that. I also hold some PMs as diversification, but I'm not trading between those (since I would surely be bad at that and lose money instead). |

I did, but I agree that for most people, you're better off just doing a B&H with money you're willing to lose. That being said, I figure most of the people in a speculation forum aren't doing pure B&H .. I may have been right for the wrong reason .. I anticipate another global recession this year. I am not convinced that Bitcoin is where you want to be in such times compared to PMs. |

When the indefinite QE started, it was $40B/mo. I recall thinking that they'd likely jack it up a little over $100B/mo and then pull back 25% of so and claim prudence. I was off by a bit on the magnitude, but I can see that playing out similarly. Having pumped QE to $85B/mo, if they ultimately scale it back to $40-60B/mo range, that'll seem like not a terribly big deal now that everyone's used to it. We'll see. They might be able to scale it back quite a bit, actually, before interest rates move too much, as long as USD is still the defacto global reserve asset. It's really in China's hands. |
Bitcoin is the first monetary system to credibly offer perfect information to all economic participants.

I'm looking to convert my remaining USD to CHF first decent chance I get. Already hold gold and bitcoin; sold some stocks so I'm holding much more USD than I feel comfortable holding  |
