I don't really agree with the main idea of the article. Based on what I've seen lately, Bitcoin seems to be perceived as a sort of exotic asset that is however becoming more palatable to 'serious' institutional investors. If things continue down this road, my feeling is that Bitcoin and perhaps a few other crypto currencies will end up with some sort of gold-like role in the investment landscape. Note however that I'm referring to bullion, not rare coins that are collected for their own sake and that can fetch prices that far exceed those of their gold content.
