The fbi sold the silk road coins to billionaire vc Tim Draper at auction years ago .... Major buyers thesedays are mostly financial institutions and hedgefunds according to Otc traders..... Ransome hackers will likely switch to a more privacy focused coin like monero in future because it was designed from day 1 to be untraceable....

I am the OP... I find it amusing that those people decided to spread misinformation about btc back in the day instead of educating themselves.... Every second post in those days was calling it a scam or a ponzi or worthless or unlimited when it was never any of those things to begin with.... I have no problems with anyone who buys metals, but metals are not going to be the money of the future, they will still have value but the lack the other property's which give CryptoCurrency advantages going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOUTHERNSTAR Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Silver will never go to a zero, value but Bitcoins can. Many smart asses lost their Bitcoins due to corrupt exchanges and theft but my silver in an insured safe deposit box is still there. There is a place for silver/gold and Eth or Bitcoins, don't write off anyone of these alternative investments and don't be a smart ass about your investments compared to others. Life has got a tendency to make one humble when it comes to investment. Be grateful when your investment does well and speak in humble ways about your success.

This goes for bitcoin, property, shares etc. I raised a thread on this forum 2 yrs ago about Facebook ('Invest in Facebook and double your money in 2 yrs'). We are living in the golden age of digital advertising..... I knew that I was onto a winner back then and have nearly doubled my money as I predicted in that thread. I still believe it has a long way to go and will not sell. I didn't go for bitcoin years ago as it was unregulated and too risky. Obviously I regret that decision now but you win some and lose some. I had a friend who put everything into BHP yrs ago in the mining boom in oz. He sat on it and rode to the top and made a fortune. We can all get lucky sometimes! Are crypto currencies really going to be the money of the future? Why would I use it rather than the security of my visa card / bank? Who knows....

DaveBKK Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 They are already manipulating chlorine atoms to create grids for more efficient memory chips. Wait till they can combine and manipulate atoms to create minerals. You bet your a$$ silver and gold can go to zero real fast. Silver is just a rock.

Might be waiting a while......we've been making compounds for centuries....making elements might take a little longer....apart from the radioactive ones which I guess have little marketable value at the moment.

And they've already created many.... the heaviest 20 now I think are all man-made. This is what the sun does right....just a giant fusion reactor fusing atoms to create the elements. Silver and gold are just elements. I follow the science and I think there's a good chance we'll see significant developments in next couple decades.

What you are talking about is like the sci fi nuts nuts who say we will go to Mars and terraform it. Maybe ...one day.....not in our lifetime.
