They have been the best source for Bitcoin forecasts so far.

while i respect S3052, you can't say this since you haven't been subscribed to my newsletter ever.

Yeah, criminal activities seems to be the only real argument against Bitcoin stuff in general really but that's the price you pay for a mostly anonymous free market and that's a very small problem compared to what a lot of other conventional markets have to deal with.

a p2p stock market have a chicken egg problem and so far the use it can have is money laundering

I'd love to see a P2P Stock Exchange set up, especially if it involves Bitcoin but no one seems to be actively developing it yet but the idea does seem to be floating around.

Technical analysis from Bitcoinbullbear predicts gold,silver,palladium as down for 2013.

I would expect a vested interest there.
However I do value the forecasts that have been made there. They have been the best source for Bitcoin forecasts so far.

Given this view, it would seem like a good idea to move savings from precious metals into Bitcoin. But I'm still not that bullish. I prefer to use Bitcoin as a utility with a small amount saved by just in case, and instead have savings in precious metals. But what can one invest in if those main markets are all predicted as down?

I don't want to make a lot of money this way - I just want to avoid taking more than minor losses.

I have some alternative ideas for investment but they seem so much more risky than holding gold (for example).

What to do...?
At this point I would say if you own property, invest in things like solar panels, methane generation, micro farming. But I'm mobile...
Perhaps there's a way to invest in online assets that isn't centralized?
