So will the gold bugs start fleeing the ship and buy some BTC? 
No way. Gold bugs are all about the physical. Their 40 year scenarios involve a global meltdown and general SYSTEM FAILURE, a "gold" that requires a functioning internet and power system would be laughable to them.
at least they won't be able to post on blogs that their 10 year daily prediction of doom finally came through.. if they hate the internet so much why do they yap the most on it?
