+1 and look at history, I would rather be in bitcoins then a countries currency during war.  Once a war kicks off the money goes in the old round filling cabinet.  Ask Saddam, Kadafi, Hitler (just to name a few experts) all of those folks went to war and their money turned to funny.  Now you look at Hitler and what did he do, he chased more stable funds to back his funds and he also stole obtained other items such as art, gold and transferable equity so he could keep the war machine going.  I don't have time to write a whole history about this (wait maybe I should, might make a nice coffee table book, anyways) but drop by your local library and have fun discovering our human history and how money and war have worked since the dawn of time. 

And remember kids, stay in school.
