A momentous thing just happened -- Bitcoin breached $1,000.
Is it a bubble? Who knows, but one thing is certain, you can buy a lot more gold and silver with one bitcoin than you could a year ago.

Fiat Alternatives
There are many parallels between bitcoin and gold, both are alternatives to fiat money, both are faceless currencies and both have limited supplies. However, in the last two years one has seen its price climb from $7 to $1000, the other has fallen from $1,900 to $1200.
Which begs the question: is bitcoin is the new gold?
