    He's making the point that you should shovel all your cash into Bitcoins so that he can make more virtual money.

    I am pretty sure that the safest place for one to hold one's life savings is in an online currency the American government wants to abolish, that is primarily used to fund illegal anonymous transactions via people called Vasily in the Urals, and is held on a folder bought on a £300 laptop purchased from Argos.

    Apart from obvious factual error about illegality, everything else you mention are Bitcoin's strengths not weaknesses.

    Title changed to reflect recent further 11% rise in Bitcoin value.

    I think it's a "Booble"

    A crucial element of any investing plan ought to be that you can sleep at night.

    As Generali said, get rich slowly.
