RE: Bitcoin Almost $1800! Is This a Bubble?

in #bitcoin8 years ago

I've been mining and buying BTC since Feb of 2016. I'm looking at the long-haul on this and expect it to hit $3200 - $3600 by end of 2017. I know it's optimistic. It's a hard sell on this as I use the profits of other coins to buy physical silver and gold, but with BTC about $500 above Gold now. What to buy is weighing in my mind.

Sort:  

Yeah gold and silver are ridiculously cheap due to price manipulations.

Yes, I was buying 100 oz bars when silver was $3.20 oz or so and gold about $268 oz in 2001 and kept buying for years until it hit hit $20 dollars and then it went to $75 - silver. I still buy now but not in huge quantities. It is being manipulated as it's not indicative of what the U.S.'s economy should be (low,) with this economy. Silver should be $100+ per oz now. But look at the unemployment rate; a third of the citizens aren't working because there are no jobs and if they are, you have to work 1 1/2 or more jobs to maybe make ends meet and also because businesses are closing.
