This has been beaten to death. Now that the speculative bubble has shown cracks the BTC heads are trying to rational its existence.I'm not trying to convince you of bitcoin, but it is backed by the highest amount of computational power in the world. Just a question (which I'm borrowing from somewhere):
If you were creating a digital global currency, one that would be trusted by everyone, what would you possibly back it with?
vires in numeris
There is no magic...a currency needs to meet a number of criteria, being a relatively stable store of value is one. BTC is not.
There very well may be one down the road but I am not smart enough to pick which one. So my investments are in the technology not a specific coin.
