Odd first post from a member, however I'll add into it (Keep an eye out if they come back & post links later tho). I read about Bitcoin in a magazine about 3 or 4 years ago, so you wanna talk about kicking yourself. I think it was about a year before it exploded up to $17K or whatever. Still, it might've been around $100 or so, which, in reality could tank in itself.

I remember talking with my brother about it, and what he knew of it. The whole thing with the 'unknown creator/owner' kinda made me skeptical it was just a prank gone viral. Plus I didn't really have that much extra money to spend on it. Still, if I put something like $1000 into it, I would've had like a couple hundred thousand or million or so. Again, the thinking was I'd also lose the thousand, or that the $100 would dip down to penny stocks.

As with all investing tho, hindsight is 20/20. I'm not too into it esp these 'other' crypto's.  Kinda like all these streaming TV services coming out, not all will succeed, step out of the game & see who wins imho.
