So my wife and I argued last night, because I want to try a year of using whatever I would put into a 401k to buy bitcoins instead. 
 
After much debate, she agreed, but do y'all think I'm stupid for doing so?  Now obviously there are pros/cons to both.  I think bitcoin still has a lot of potential.  I was putting 4% into 401k, and my employer matched 50$ of that (for a total of 6% going into 401k).  So I'll lose 2%, and it'll be after taxes.
 
On the other hand, if bitcoins grow like they have over the past year, I'd be retarded not to do it.  *sigh*
 
How many of you have moved away from standard investments into bitcoin?   Or I could drop my allocation some (maybe 3%) and then put 1% into bitcoins?  MOney is tight at the moment, so I can't add extra... I'm just going to use what already is being taken out.
