This is a mega bubble.
Bitcoin produces no income, has no intrinsic value, in fact they don't really exist except in cyberspace.

When this bubble pops a lot of people are going to get hurt


It's funny. I'd call it a clever pyramid scheme, but not by any means anything that hasn't been done before in a different shape or manner.. Now that the cat is out of the bag, it's too late to invest.
It will come crashing to the ground very shortly, like it should, because it produces nothing by itself except for plebs thinking that they can get something for nothing.

The Governor of the Reserve Bank called it a speculative bubble and that's really only a fancy name for a pyramid scheme

Bitcoin is pretty safe for the next few years, but quantum computing breaks it. I just bought more QRL( Quantum resistant ledger,) with the recent announcements by IBM(they are developing a software framework for quantum processing) and the recent advances in entanglement stability its going to be happening faster than
a lot of people expect.


That is really interesting.

I thought we were more then ten year away from a basic system that could do real world stuff.

What I didn't realize and now regret not buying some bitcoin is the use of this in the blackmarket. A great way to move money around without the authorities seeing it. That I think is why it is a hit. It has a real purpose in avoiding the established finance institutions and the trails they leave behind.

I think there will still be a market for those that want to move money undetected, so I don't think it will just disappear. However I do think it a form a gambling and now I have missed the boat, will not play in.

yes.
It has no yield,so is not an investment.
It has no real asset backing.

Guy I was working with was buying into bitcoin a number of years ago when it was virtually worthless something like 0.005 c. He must be laughing today.

Buying this at the rates today IMO would be insane.

Cryptocurrency isn't going to disappear. The Blockchain is in its infancy. Those are two solid reasons to hold crypto. Plus, its fun to learn the ins and outs of it. Stories abound of people who refinance their homes to "get in" Bitcoin then can't sleep when the value drops 30% but the same stupidity is found in gold and stocks and real estate but they don't make the news anymore.

OK. So now we also need to hate nerds as well as muslims?
This is getting tricky.
I don't want to hate people, it takes too much effort.
I guess I could go back to watching movies on TV and stop watching free pornography, then I wouldn't need the internet anymore.
That is all it's good for, I remember Tony Abbott said so.

BILLIONAIRE investor Warren Buffett has taken aim at cryptocurrencies, warning the recent mania that has seen bitcoin and its cousins skyrocket in value will not end well.

“In terms of cryptocurrencies, generally, I can say with almost certainty that they will come to a bad ending,” the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway said in an interview with CNBC on Wednesday. “When it happens or how or anything else, I don’t know.”

Mr Buffett, the world’s third richest man behind Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, with an estimated net worth of $US87.2 billion ($111 billion), has previously made comments critical of bitcoin.

“It’s a mirage, basically,” he said in 2014. “I mean it’s a method of transmitting money, the idea that it has some huge instrinic value is just a joke, in my view.”
