funny, last time I checked I could buy more than 1 oz of gold with 1 btc...

For now. bitcoin can't be manipulated by the feds, that's its saving grace...but its still a FIAT. Ask someone in collapsing Venezuela right not if they can use bitcoin to feed their family. On the other hand, there are tons of news reports of people bartering with gold and silver to survive in that country right now. I'll stick with what has stood the test of time thanks. :)
