You can't lose if you don't play their game. Let them play all they want. The big difference between BTC and Gold is that NOBODY knows how much gold there is. We all know how many BTC there are, and we know that in the future there will be less and less as careless people lose their BTC. The key is HODL (Hold On for Dear Life). Don't play their game. Buy and hold. It has been a great way to hold gold and silver, and it will be a great way to hold BTC.

And, of course, there's Ether, Litecoin and a host of others with great value.
