All this negativity towards cryptocurrencies has me a little confused. I've made 70X my money investing in something called Tronix (TRX), in less than a month's time. Did I make a mistake?

you did better than me, i held gold and gold stocks the last 6 years and all they did was go down in value. but it doesn't make any difference to me, i am going to buy gold whether its $1000 or $10,000. i know that is the only way to protect what you have so i am sticking with my plan.

Well...the game goes on. I've got an Ivy-League college tuition to pay for. My point is that even a "scam" can be an effective investment vehicle...if there is a decent "exit strategy" in place. One needn't be left "holding the bag".

I offer nothing but my sincerest best wishes for you on your trade, Thask.
I would never walk down the Bitcoin road for sure, but that's me, and only me. We all dance to the tune of a different drummer yet I see nothing but heart ache at the intersection of Block Chain Technology and Cryptocurrency.

No, I haven't. I have no idea when it'll fail, I only feel sure that it will and won't ever be a real currency. I don't believe anywheee takes that kind of bet.

Are you kidding me, you can short bitcoin.
Just google, short bitcoin.
There are plenty of people like yourself who don’t believe in it
Just like shorting horses on betfair exchange.
some horses fail and cha-Ching goes the cash register.
What kind of odds are we talking about the bitcoin fails in 2018.
Even money?
1-10 on?
