a new idea isn't always the best.
there have been ramifications from bitcoin's introduction.
then, there is another "coin" product.

There was a funny video about the Bitcoin bubble on Facebook, but I can't find it now. Basically, people are paying for nothing, and eventually they will get nothing. The people that started it, and got everybody else to hand over their money for something that has no intrinsic value, are the ones that make out.

I don't trust Bitcoin at all. I understand how it works, but it isn't "real" in the same way paper money "isn't real."

I used to use sites to earn bitcoins but I've stopped doing this as they are very difficult to use and very difficult to cashout when using coinbase.

I regret not putting something down towards bitcoins as I would have made a lot of money. Of course, I can say that about most successful investments.

The US Dollar has no intrinsic value either. It's like any other currency.

I know someone else asked but can someone explain what bitcoins is/are? I have heard of them but wouldn't know how to get them or use them.

Honestly, Bitcoin is a giant scam. It isn't backed up by anything other than illegal activity on the Dark Web. If you enjoy investing in evil, buy bitcoin.

Bitcoin is WAY too risky right now to even bother getting involved with it.

Bitcoin always seemed shady to me. I don't fool with it.

A lot of scandal in the bitcoin trade. Not sure what it is, but I have too little money to risk.

Yeah, American money is not backed by gold anymore (thanks to Prez Nixon, I believe), but it is accepted almost every where in the world.
