    It would make me giddy to have a bit of coin.

    Why is there a thread about bit coin.
    Genuine question, been pressured to buy them from sons advice.
    Never bought in, left my money in cash ISA .
    Not greatest return but low risk.

    When Bitcoin spikes, people talk about it. Which is exactly the wrong time to buy.

    It's a very, very risky investment. But with great risk, can come great rewards. Depends on your appetite for risk

    Its an insecure, very environmentally-unfriendly and popular with criminals, Ponzi scheme. One day it'll crash, but by God do I wish I'd done some mining 15 years ago when I first heard of it...

    All our savings are in Premium Bonds. Our average win is about £50 a month. Slightly less exciting than Bitcoin I suppose....
