Bitcoin is a means of exchange whereas silver can do that and it has all of its industrial uses as well, its a no brainer for me .Its silver all the way, i may speculate on cryptos but i will use any profits gained to buy more silver. This would be my plan i will buy two bitcoins and 10 ethereum, i will hold 1 bitcoin and all the ethereum, i will gamble with the other bitcoin , if the ethereum goes on a run i will wait till it exeeds my outlay then use half to gamble with. Any profit from my gambles will be used to buy more silver.
Just out of interest what happens if the PTB decide to outlaw all cryptos but their own version, until the other parts of their system is bypassed that has to be a possibility. Afterall we are all still measuring their value in their old fiat system and to benefit from the gains you have to convert back to fiat to spend it? Obviously im at the bottom of the learning curve here so would appreciate any guidance you more experienced cryptonauts(new word ??) can offer.
