A year ago BTC was trading at 500 and now its nearly 3000. Jim Cramer reckons the only way is up as its a great way to move money out of countries and transact anonymous. You can see the type of people who might be interested in it! It has gone up too much in the last 3 months so not a buy now. ------------- |

Bought €500 worth about a year ago, when it went to €1,000 I sold. Happy that I doubled my money. Then I watched it continue to go up and up. If there is a crash I'll be all over it but it's the waiting game for now

how did you go about buying it Fitz? Jesus it was 6 cent in 2011  I was looking at it before the World Cup in 2010, f**king hell I could have made a good few bob on it.

From what I can gather its not straight forward to buy - there is no stock or ETF that tracks it. There is an app that allows you to set up a wallet and buy / sell it. http://uk.businessinsider.com/how-to-buy-bitcoin-using-coinbase-2017-2/#this-is-what-the-coinbase-app-looks-like-on-an-iphone-1" rel="nofollow - http://uk.businessinsider.com/how-to-buy-bitcoin-using-coinbase-2017-2/#this-is-what-the-coinbase-app-looks-like-on-an-iphone-1 ------------- |

I bought on Xapo.com, remember it being recommended when I was doing my research. Their app is pretty neat also, takes a sec to see the price of BTC when you open it. The other thing I got was physical debit card which is linked to my Xapo account, so if there was anywhere which accepted Bitcoins I could use that card to pay if I wanted or in an ATM. The cash isn't locked down to online purchases. I haven't really used the card though, my interest in Bitcoin is to make money which I've done only a tiny bit of. I listened to Andreas Antonopoulos on the Joe Rogan podcast who is an expert on Bitcoin and I got involved after that.

Ethereum and the blockchain technology is the most interesting stuff, it's not a currency. It enables anyone that develops daps (I always think of the D'unbelievables with that name) on it. Daps will explode as more and more businness work out how much saving they can make using the technology, some of those daps companies could go onto to be the next google and facebook. I'd imagine this is the main reason so much money is going in, it's a bubble in some ways but not in others There is also the possiblity that it could see the end of modern day banking, which would be great as there is no need for the banking middleman. It's unchartered territory but very interesting. Currently I'm using Revolut (not anything to do with bitcoin or blockchain) for a lot of my banking, I have an English bank acccount tied in with it, so I'll probably just migrate over to them and close the AIB account. ------------- Romario 2016: And the ticket mafia gets caught!

The drop in value is actually from small investors all rushing to sell their stock when news like this comes out. Same thing happened when JPMorgan's Dimon came out with an absolute bullsh*t interview the other day. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/12/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-raises-flag-on-trading-revenue-sees-20-percent-fall-for-the-third-quarter.html" rel="nofollow - https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/12/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-raises-flag-on-trading-revenue-sees-20-percent-fall-for-the-third-quarter.html Now would actually be a very good time to invest in bitcoin as the value will shoot back up as it has time and time again when news like this comes out. |

He's ballsy for sure! If you ask me, I think it will double in price to hit 10k and then the price will go down. I mean what are people really using BTC for? Buying mushrooms, what else? The price is really just driven by investors. The tech behind it has potential and hopefully one day will replace currencies like the Euro, but that needs another 10+ years for sure. |

There is a house in London for sale for £17m but the seller will only accept Bitcoin. He is probably sitting on a load of Bitcoins and hoping this marketing ploy increases the value even more. Its definitely one of those you wish you got in early but I still feel this will drop massively one day. ------------- |

Have made a very tidy profit in Bitcoin since started using it in 2010 on the deep web. 2 months back bought a nice few at 2.6k stg and 4.6k now but with new wallet. But i did make a monumental feck up when first buying some for investment purposes as i used a wallet i used for buying stuff online which has been frozen due to some coins going through AlphaBay. Have my forensic IT lad sorting it out for me. So if gonna invest in them get a fresh wallet. Dashcoin is one i am doing some research on now.

Anyone know how to use this! I want to use it to pay for sportsmania who only accept bitcoin payments. The Android app only allows me to buy 0.01 bitcoin at a cost of 97 dollars and 12 dollars transaction fee. The payment for sportsmainia is 34 dollars, am I then able to send that 34 dollars via bit coin to Sportsmainia? I'm a bit reluctant to spent 110 dollars on something I may not end up being able to use. ------------- It was far across the sea, When the devil got a hold of me, He wouldn't set me free, So he kept me soul for ransom. na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na.

the ponzi scheme is over. many people made a lot of money on the way up and it will break them if they lose it. imagine making a mil off a few hundred quid and then losing it all... the smart money has left the building

no it's not. it's really really not. i have been and will continuing to be urging people to avoid these things. Most people have absolute no idea what they are investing in. they are massive ponzi schemes and people should not be risking money they cant afford to lose. sure if you have 10k to waste and fancy a punt it could go up 500% next year but it doesnt mean it's a good time to invest. avoid. |

I agree with Randy.

Rather than a savage drop, this looks to me more like a natural re-balancing after unnatural and unrestricted growth. Possibly a consequence of the availability of futures on these now. Means you can short bitcoin which keep the price from growing and growing. ------------- @AntrimMan85 |

Incidentally, bitcoin mining now uses more electricity than the entire Republic of Ireland. It's hilariously unsustainable. -------------

Now to cash it he would have had to pay taxes of 400,000 in Ireland but said to hell with that as he flew out to Panama last Sunday for a year ( i think ) where he will get to keep it all .

| Always hear a story of a lad who knows a lad who pulled a heap of money from bitcoin . The same lad who got this fortune is still the barman and still pulling pints and pulling the lads legs who believe him |
