People using legal tender to buy nearly off the grid bitcoins as a speculative vehicle concerns me. I read the hype and honestly I see much of the precious metals babble being regurgitated, only here it’s an intangible people are “investing” in. I say get that money and ride the momentum but don’t marry ANY speculative vehicle. At the end of the day the US government doesn’t like competition very much, they will probably crush bitcoin down the road IMO. It is now over $1k, I can’t even get charts to come up because people are probably hammering servers on the hype. Added---- They were like $10 at the beginning of the year, sure seems like tulip mania to me. LOL ---

As for investing, the market is up and down so much. Litecoins are cheaper and may be a good buy =) ---
