Any virtual currency investors?

[LocksOfLove]

Around 2 years ago I bought a bitcoin, and sold it soon after (regretting that!) So after the recent spike of the bitcoin I've recently invested a tiny fortune into 160,000 infinitecoins. Thought I'd join in the virtual currency fun! It's not a massive amount of cash so it's a bit of fun, if it flops I'm not that bothered.

Any other people doing the same? Xx

I made a bit of money (pun not intended!) by selling just before it crashed earlier in the year. I think I still have some bitcoin but not sure where I stored the wallet lol but not much left in there I'm sure, but I was looking for it after seeing the prices go back up!

The only problem is that when I bought it before I was constantly checking the price, and worried that I would lose my money! So obviously only invest what you can afford to lose and I would decide when you will cash out.

To be honest I think the problem with bitcoin is that people use it as an investment rather than an actually currency which causes it to be so unstable. I would be cautious about buying too much of the smaller currencies, there are so many of them last time I checked.
But I may think about buying some more now hehe

Have you used any of the money for purchases or is it purely as an investment?

That's spooky, my boyfriend was literally telling me about Bitcoin when I loaded up SG to have a gander and saw this! Lol

He said they are worth like £1000 now!! Some dude apparently threw away a computer and forgot the had bitcoins on it from years ago - he threw away £4 million worth!! Gutted or what!!

Man's £4m bitcoin fortune lost in rubbish dump - ITV News

...and apparently he was normally careful not to throw out his hard drives - must be seriously gutted!

Id be gutted!!! Only a tiny fortune thought it would be a bit of fun. All the better if they go up though I'm normally a silver bullion investor. Thought rather then metal I'll try a bit of virtual xx
