Today, for the first time, one litecoin sold for more than one ounce of silver on the exchanges.

On Okcoin it is 132 RMB ($21.38) and on BTC-e it is $20.10 — versus the spot price of silver that is just around $20.

This of course is merely coincidental symbolism but this also begins the countdown until one BTC (~$860) passes one ounce of gold ($1255).

Wonder how long it will take either to surpass the inflation-adjusted historical record of both?
