I don't like viewing bitcoin as a store of wealth, it's supposed to be used for things. That is why I accept it as payment for services. But lately I've just been using Litecoin instead...
That said it looks like there are onlly 70k transactions in the queue for a total value of 1btc in fees. Which should mean spam and an ability to transfer coins a bit.....
