Bitcoin is a fiat currency. It is not money. We only hope it will destroy the central banks and their policies of fraud and debt. But at the end of the revolution, bitcoin is only a currency and has no intrinsic value. Gold and silver are money and have value within themselves.
I don't disagree with you that Bitcoin can make the credit side of your books look wonderful, but I am sticking with some of your other great advice, to wit; GET YOUR HANDS ON ALL THE PHYSICAL SILVER YOU CAN!!!

Bitcoin is currency not fiat currency. For it to be fiat currency it would have to be issued and backed by a government.

Well then by that definition, Bitcoin is not a currency at all. For it to be a currency, it would have to serve as money and be redeemable for the money.

It is redeemable for money and does serve as a currency.

Who's money is it redeemable for and what is the standard unit of value of that money? And where can I go to redeemit at? Maybe it serves as a currency in some country, I don't know, but the county tax collecter does not accept them for payment here in California. They do accept federal reserve currency as well as lawful money.

You can't pay the tax collector in money either you can only pay in fiat currency. I bought some silver from goldsilver.com with bitcoin, so it is redeemable for money(gold and silver).

Actually, the tax collector will, and must, accept money (gold and silve coin) but only at face value, not fair market value or spot value.
What you did with goldsilver.com is barter with bitcoin. If bitcoin were redeemable it would be for the same amount today as when you thought you redeemed yours last time. No less and no more.

Spekkin of the tax collector. How would you like to be the guy who converted some bitcoin to "king" dollars and then plowed it into a home purchase in the past month or so? 1 year from now his house will be worth 50% less than what he paid...plus he will owe the I.R.S. capital gains tax on his bitcoin conversion. At least he will be able to stay in his house (without paying the mortgage) for 2 years. :-)

No. I want to be the guy who buys a property listed at 1.2million for $45,000.00 face value of gold coins. No converting necessary. Price stated on the deed is the price paid.
Also, I am the guy who bought a used car in January of this year for $65.00. Can you guess what price the transfer tax was based on? It wasn't the asking price of 1750.00 I can assure you that. ; ) Now think about that!
If you are going to be (or feel you have no other reasonable option to) paying taxes, would you rather pay 8% of one million or 8% of one thousand?
