I sold some unused gold jewelry yesterday and bought bitcoin at my local Robocoin ATM.
I expect the next bitcoin price bubble to occur in the next few months - at which point the issue of 1 BTC vs 1 oz Gold will be history.
Uh, isn't the whole point of bubbles that they're artificially inflated and then harshly corrected? You can have the bubble, I'd stick with gold, which is much less likely to be inflated. Particularly since the powers that be work so hard to make sure the price is permanently depressed, just to keep the illusion of value in the fiat.
