And, better--- there are still other commodities available that offer the same opportunities.

I'll tell you what.

You could have made fortunes if you had invested in Rice Derivatives in 2008, or if you bought Wheat futures in 2010-2011, right now you are about to enjoy a windfall of cash.
Save your breathe Luddite! Bitcoins may not ready for "primetime" yet. However, they soon will be. The SDR will fail!! Bitcoin 2.0 or Bitcoin 3.0 is the future!!!
