I got mine for nout, if they go back to nout then it's been a wild ride.  I have a diverse portfolio, as anyone should.  This is the riskiest end of it.

Yeah I jumped out while it fell to go back in later. The risk with that is that it immediately starts rising again when you sell, thus meaning you've lost money with no gain - but I seemed to get this one right. That said, it'll take me a while I think for it to get back to where it was, which is when I'll have really made some profit from it.

 

I think it has fallen as far as it's going to for now, I guess the test from here is whether or not the market confidence has taken a more serious hit, or if it's going to start climbing again as people eye better prices.

Great position to be in - people keep talking about how BTC will eventially hit $1m. Not sure about that myself but I think it'll go back north of $60k.

I mean, I agree. I fundamentally agree with that.

 

But then, I'm not investing into Bitcoin. My 'belief' is that the currencies I'm investing into will have functional utility in the medium to long term. XRP for instance has already lined up a number of banks to start working with it. 

 

If that's still not enough to persuade you then fair enough, but I don't really see how it's any different to gold or national currencies, other than that they are established and crypto is not.

Even then, there's nothing wrong with investing in a Tinkerbell if you treat it as a gamble like any other. It's like backing to lay (or vice versa) on Betfair really. But then I'm in the process of making some tidy pocket money from idiot Eurovision fans so I'm in a good mood where market movements are concerned. :D

Based on the googling I've just done, if crypto were a bank, it would be placed at 11th biggest in the world based on market cap. And 4 of the top ten are Chinese state owned banks.
