I up-voted this because it is an interesting guide in securing bitcoin.<p>I think this is stupid in the extreme, and you SHOULD NOT do this ever.<p>Bitcoin is super interesting as an asset vehicle, but I would not put all my eggs in that basket. For as much as I might not like the Fed and some of the monetary policy it makes, it still gets things done. Right now bitcoin can&#x27;t seem to change the block size, it needs to, and a squabble could cause serious devaluation of the product as a whole.<p>There is also the ticking time bomb of the satoshi coins. Right now one individual (or group) controls something like 6% of all the coins available, and on a whim, could cause a major devaluation over night.<p>All this having been said would I consider buying and holding some bitcoin as very LIQUID asset, and cash equivalent. I sure would. How much would I put into it, no more than a few grand honestly, a sum I am willing to loose.
