For several years we have heard frrom many polititions that if we start spending more money that had to be borrowed or printed to stimulate growth that it would save the economy. We are now farther in debt then we have ever been and growing. the dollar is getting weaker by the day and still over four years since this all started we are still not seeing any economic growth. It is my opinion that the only resonable step for those that wish to stay away from a ever inflating currency. is to look for a save haven currency. and while metals like gold and silver have been save havens for currency for hundrads of year there is a new currency on the rise called bitcoins.
The bitcoin is a unregulated decentralized currency that may just out preform not only the expectations of investors all over the world but also many currency alreadys in cirrulation. it was never expected by mainstream investors as a viable currency till recently. mostly thanks to underground markets where illegal drugs weapons and other things are sold online thru a program known as a tor browser. This is not to say that the bitcoin does not have very good legal uses if it did not it would not have come this far however i do belive that without those underground markets it is likely the bitcoin wound of crashed in its early day never getting the chnce or attention neded to reach the level it now has. for a detailed chart of its growth see here.Bitcoin Growth Chart
