Now that Bitcoin has a futures market like Gold, the market manipulation will never allow it to rise like before. As soon as the price action spikes, they will beat the price back down just like they do with Gold. At least with gold it actually exists in the real world and it has real world value. What can I do with Bitcoin again in the real world? That's right, nothing but hope someone else wants to pay more for it than I did. That is not anywhere close to intrinsic value like gold possesses.
