Anybody ever hear of the Tulip Mania? Does anyone think that the governments of the world will ultimately allow competition from Cryptocurrencies ? They are not clamping down on alternative currencies yet but they will eventually when they get a handle on this newby. Make your money while you can but be on the look out for big gov. to clamp down. Gold is the only long term answer. A whole generation has been misled by the anti-gold buggers but they will be proven to be wrong. Gold will have the last laugh!
