in #bitcoin7 years ago

I would like to share the following clip on cryptocurrencies and bitcoin in particular from Jim Rickards on Kitco.

Highlights:

  • Bitcoin is money and not an investment
  • Bitcoin may be in a bubble
  • Beware of possible regulation changes

Questions for the community:

  1. There are great commentaries on gold/silver vs cryptocurrencies on YouTube and Steemit but I am seeing a trend of increasing competition arising from the 2 camps. Do you think this may be a generational bias, the majority of boomers prefer gold/silver, while millennials prefer cryptocurrencies and GenX is in between. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
  2. Loss of US dollar confidence would see an increase of gold and silver prices as well, but if gold and silver prices are manipulated via ETFs etc., could this statement be false?
Sort:  

There a are lots of us here who invest in both.
The fundamentals for gold & silver and crypto's is good when you understand the,way central banks work.
They'll print the currencies into oblivion. This cannot happen to metals or crypto's as they are finite.
Own both asset classes, hold and wait for the £, $, ¥ &€ to collapse. Then the masses will pile in and that's when you sell.
Easy! @tremendospercy My opinion of course.
I've followed you too.
Keep questioning buddy.
