Thank you for the compliment and your very thoughtful response! You make excellent points and I generally agree with you.

I'm excited to see where the Bitcoin experiment leads. It will be interesting to see how it responds to crisis conditions. There are sound arguments that it zeroes out just as there are sound arguments it moons.

I'm not all-in, nor am I on the sidelines either. I guess you could say I'm taking Pascal's wager on Bitcoin, but my faith lies in gold.
