I think it is all complicated by the fact that the stock market and real money funds and hedge funds all get returns that suck now so that people with real $ get the idea that they might as well pay a bunch of programmers to party it up in a a mansion in the Hollywood Hills and I'll be looking for the bathroom talking to the project manager downstairs looking at the OSHA sign while upstairs some guy's had too many shots of whatever it is he's shooting is jumping into the wrong end of the pool.

So long as interest rates are too low and you can't get returns doing anything responsible, people will do irresponsible things like listen to Glenn Beck and call up Goldline and get ripped off for some gold coins.

That's just the way it is.
