Bitcoins

No and no. Why would I invest in something that is primarily for drug dealing and prostitution and worse? It wont replace capitalist pig-dog currencies that control our lives (spit, etc.), because the vast 99.99% (you can move the decimal point if you like) of people are quite happy with their groats.

Coincidently, if anyone wants to buy with real money some prehistoric air I have in my cellar please get in touch.

Where can you monitor the "live price" of a bit coin?

I find the internet is the best place

and this isn't working either

So ... where can I monitor the live price? My searching has revealed a whole load of noddy rubbish so far.

And thanks for your helpful reply

Not bitter dryhat...just enjoying the show.

Worst thing they could do imho

They are just setting up for a massive fire sale in 12 hours time, ludicrous.

Don't worry - there will be plenty of other chances to get scammed in the future.

How much you in for?

The Bitcoin virtual currency lost half its value on Wednesday because of a panic sell-off.

From a high of $260 (£169) for each Bitcoin, the value dropped to about $130 (£84) in just six hours.

The selling frenzy began as Bitcoin's main exchange, MTGox, struggled to keep up with the volume of trade in the virtual currency
