Jeezus; This is my first post in the thread and already 20 different mentions of bitcoin came before me.
Times, they are a changing!
Contrary to popular belief, I do NOT suggest it all gets sunk into bitcoin. All wise investments are diversified.
The USD, Euro, & Yen are totally fucked, so stay away from things that are touched by those three currencies and their direct markets.
How about a 3 way split between bitcoin, gold, & silver? If you know of any sound investments in rising markets like BRICS countries, Chile, or SE Asia, then you might want to consider up to a 3rd of the portfolio in that too... Just as long as you sink a couple thou into bitcoin you'll be happy with those returns later.
#Protip: Monday and Tuesday USSA legislators will be holding hearings on bitcoin, including the DHS, Fincen, and lots of other scary departments. If you're going to buy some, watch those hearings and be ready to pounce on the news... Immediately if these hearings have positive results, or better yet, at the bottom if they have negative outcomes. (like a draconian-sounding new department for virtual currencies being formed.)
Either way though, the Chinese are the new carriers of the bitcoin baton, so no matter how bad the news gets, the price will eventually rise even more because those investors would LOVE to see the USSA restrict bitcoin from it's people more.
