I can't say that I entirely disagree. That's one of the reasons that I prefer to consider silver as a more long-term asset to hold onto, while any bitcoin I get from what little mining I can accomplish will be my "speculation."

Taken that way, if I'm right on either one, I can get more of the other a few years down the road.

In theory, of course...it'll be a few years yet before anyone knows which path is the best for the majority of people, and sadly, most people will be choosing neither, either for lack of knowledge, or for simply not caring about reaity...or basic mathematics.
