I have come to the realization it's ether bitcoins or bust.
In my small circle, IM is nearly dead with networks shutting down, getting sued, or dissalowing highly profitable incentivized social media traffic.
Stock market is too unpredictable with major stocks like Apple and IBM no longer performing well.
Gold, silver, copper and other commodities are in shambles.
Job market sucks.
Real estate market out of reach for many people due to tight credit.
All this money will inflow back into bitcoin because there are no good alternatives to potentially get rich quick.
Bitcoin, unlike stocks, have intrinsic utility. They are readily affordable by the masses and have a history of appreciating.
When bitcoin crosses $200+ again with the next few weeks, media outlets such as techcrunch and CNBC will be forced to begrudgingly cover bitcoin again and then it's off to $300 +.
