PMs are in a bear market. It may last for years, it still too early to buy, only 30% have been lost in gold since gold ATH, it still can drop another 50% before recovering and entering a bull market again.
We might see gold sub $800 in a year or two and stay there for a long time.

let me emphasize this point once again.
as long as gold and silver are falling, there is no reason you should be selling your Bitcoin.

here's the BOE analysis that's already been put up earlier: http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/Documents/quarterlybulletin/2014/qb14q3digitalcurrenciesbitcoin1.pdfthe only reason i repeat it here is b/c of the last footnote in the Annex of Technical issues where the author mentions the Nash Equilibrium for mining. he must have picked that up from me in this thread as i was the first to identify that concept as it applies to mining afaik. he, and the BOE, are here. it looks to me that mining would be best described as being in a Pure Strategy Nash Equilibrium - cypherdoc Highlights are mine:" A pure strategy Nash equilibrium is a profile of strategies such that each player’s (miner's) strategy is a best response ((results in the highest available payoff (block reward)) against the equilibrium strategies of the other players (miners).
A pure strategy Nash equilibrium only requires that the action taken by each agent (miner) be best against the actual equilibrium actions taken by the other players (miners), and not necessarily against all possible actions of the other players (miners). In other words, it's expected for some miners to be malicious.
A Nash equilibrium has the nice property that it is stable: if each player expects 'a' to be the profile of actions played, then no player (miner) has any incentive to change his or her action (no incentive to start cheating). In other words, no player (miner) regrets having played the action that he or she played in a Nash equilibrium." http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1968579

you gotta wonder about the BOE's interest in Bitcoin given that Gordon Brown sold all their gold back in 2000.

For just one day's worth of printing money, either the BOE or FED could purchase enough electricity and equipment to mine enough coins to become a major satoshi-level holder (1M+ coins). I'm just a peon in this game, but it seems for the equivalent of a single day's worth of printing it is a reasonable hedge.

The other question is who are they and where did they get all these coins that they don't mind dumping at a "discount".
With the current crop of exchanges, you've always got to wonder if the sellers actually have the coins they are selling.

LOL I'd like to think its going to happen, how else will we learn to value some of the utility Bitcoin offers.

silver was hyped up more than bitcoin as a "alt money" to the USD, I think with the invention of bitcoin PM's are now relics, and don't have any chance of becoming "money" again, thats not to say they won't hold some value, shiny relics are Coool, but its going to lose all that speculative "alt money" value b4 stabilizing, I would think. silver wasnt an alternative to dollar, its more like a reversion. Dollar was originally founded as a clone of the Spanish silver bits (pieces of eight!). So I think its slightly poetic that we could come full circle and go back to silver or gold which was most recently the backing. Its not really alternative imo BTC is something new and deserves that title far more, Im not sure it is an absolute contrast between the two metals vs btc. They do different things, BTC is far more useful for extremely fast, cheap transmission. Metals still have a place, always will so far as I can tell (of course people can transmit metal value digitally also dollars, btc is just the purest form of that)

Since I don't have time to write a proper article, I'll just leave this here: There's a very good reason why Bitcoin as a low transaction rate/high fee network model (the gold model) is not a desirable - it makes Bitcoin critics right about the downsides of the wealth distribution. The outsized mining rewards from the early years of Bitcoin shouldn't matter, because in a free market the initial distribution of property will correct itself given enough time. The people who can make the most productive use of an asset will tend to gain it from the people who can not. The early adopters get to spend their outsized rewards once, and then the bitcoins will move to someone more deserving of them (based on current economic productivity). This is the Coase theorem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coase_theoremThe Coase theorem, however, does have a could of important preconditions: low transaction costs and an absence of ongoing external interference in the market. The first precondition is the important one here. If Bitcoin's transaction rate remains artificially capped, then the conditions of the Coase theorem will not be satisfied. Most economic activity will be in Bitcoin derivatives instead of in Bitcoins themselves, and so all the scams and frauds the world's present ruling class uses to maintain their power will be available to the new Bitcoin ruling class. Exactly what's not supposed to happen.
