    Dunno, I must just be an old (or aging) man. I can't fathom why this would be any more than a speculative bubble.

    Gold - hedge against inflation (traditionally), a 'real' object w/ a finite amount (available)

    "$400 is a perfectly reasonable target for Bitcoin. As is $1,000. As is $10,000 or $100,000 or $1 million.
    And as is $0.01.
    This is because Bitcoin has no inherent value."

    • always plummets. Always.
