    Nice big pull back right now, I'm buying here, but never trust an exchange, as soon as you buy you must get it offline into hard copy.

    The thing is, ethereum is not capped like bitcoin is at 21 million.

    They could just keep on creating more and more ether coins, this is the problem with fiat

    Bitcon is going crazy right now, I'm not selling even after $2200, I'm holding.

    Keep some dry powder ready for any possible pullback.

    If it goes under 2k again I'm going to back up the truck

    Looks like a Tulip bubble.

    Tulips were not money, Bitcoin is money, and it's an international money there are over 7 billion people on earth and only 21 million bitcoins

    the problem is that its not actually money in the traditional snse as it is not legal tender in 99.99999% of places.

    in japan yes they are using it more now. however other countries dont seem to be following. and there are risks of government banning it when it gets to a certain level.

    i think bitcoin is pure speculation. if they are limiting it and creating a market whereby the first to get in generally hold most of the value in bitcoin for doing nothing but speculate, it can not succeed as a currency.

    What's your advice on converting it back to GBP again? This bit doesn't seem as simple :p

    The safest and easiest place to buy is Coinbase. Add www. to the referal link below and we both get £7 worth of BTC when you buy Ethereum, Bitcoin or Litecoin :-)

    This is not SPAM!!!

    But it is a referral that should only be on the referals board. Reported.

    Coinbase is the worst place to buy, people get hacked, there is zero support, and they have mysterious outages when people try to sell when the price is falling. Avoid!!
