    Good luck to them.

    I wouldnt buy any, its just gambling.

    As a currency it is useless, too hard to spend, too volitile, not secure.

    As an investment it is worthless, no earnings, no dividends, no intrensic value.

    It should fall flat on its face, it may do, it may not.

    20 years ago we all had Nokias, 10 years ago we all had Blackberrys, today you have Samsung or Apple.

    Today its bitcoin, in 10 years my guess is there will be something similar but without the drawbacks of bitcoin.

    Funny how so many people post here that they're not investing in stock market because the levels are too high. Yet people pile in to Bitcoin when it's jumped massively. No logic to me!
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    More like 36 greens and a new colour called mug comes to mind.
  • bitcoin is a virtuous circle - the more people buy the more it is worth, so soon everyone will be bitcoin billionaires and no-one will need to work ever again.

    How many of you are short-selling Bitcoin?

    And is there an easy way to do this? Or any other ideas for profiting from this epidemic of collective madness?
