HHS. Be careful with the bitcoins. You and the dark web might not be the best mix. The knock on the door could be coming soon......

I was late to the game, bought one coin at $2410... hit $4400 tonight..

Read in the USA Today (while I was sitting next to the extendo belt guy in the airplane) that the Commodies exchange is going to start trading Bitcoin. Not sure how/if futures etc but they doing something.

Biggest issue currently is hackers. They can take them and it’s a total loss (the virtual equivalent of robbing Fort Knox and taking the gold and melting it down so it’s untraceable.)

It just seems to me people are investing in a currency that one day will crash and be gone like a fart in the wind

I think the smart money cashes in their profits and keeps playing with house money..

That currency is scary. I can see folks up to no good using it to buy bad harmful stuff on the dark web. Not sure if it will ever be main stream without some significant changes. It also fluctuates too much right now to be mainstream. It’s going up yes - but the opposite can happen. Remember the hyper inflation in Argentina a few decaces back? Can’t be a major currency with massive fluctuations on a daily basis.

You should look into Ethereum, bought it at 187.00 couple months ago and it's up to 477.00. Not a digital currency like bitcoin, so there's no harm in it.

I bought LTC on Wednesday at $98, can't seem to pass the $200 barrier today..

When I was just starting to invest, i read Peter Lynch's book on investing. One of his tenants was to "Invest in what you know" and "Invest in companies who are the leaders in their field" But hedge everything with a trailing stop.

I've followed that my entire life.

Since I am a retired Tech executive, you can guess what I own and its not Bitcoin.

Now over $17000

I heard it's trading a lot higher in Johnsburg.

I think calling it an investment is a stretch... more like playing slots

Get back to us when you come up with something funny, that was stupid

Words from my investment firm... It is a gamble, not an Investment.
