Has anyone got involved with this? All I'm hearing is good things and how it can make you rich blah blah blah but surely if that was the case everyone would be onto it? I'm thinking of firing $200 into it just for a bit of fun. Will I be a millionaire soon? Lol

Haha I know I'm a bit slow to this idea it's just I watched a programme on TV here in the UK which got me curious

Feel free to consult a financial advisor on the topic. My advice is that unless you have funny money you don't mind losing, investing in Paulson's has higher profit expectations than bitcoin.

Ya I'm one of the nits who has lost over 2k because I invested during the hype. After last December the whole world knows about it, and no one is really talking about it, kind of like it went public, rode they hype train to the top then crashed and has been flailing downward slowly for a year. Not sure what it would take to start moving up again, but a lot of people got burned and probably have a bad taste about crypto now.

Thanks, yeah I kinda thought about it like that actually! A nice set of Paulsons would probably be a more sound option

Cheers, James

I think there will be some for sale in the next sale by TheChipRoom.

my bit chips are ”virtual” digital only. I mine them with the camera on my iPhone.

wait until after Jan 1. Do your research on alt coins with better upside from a use-case perspective. But hell, what do I know?

All I'm hearing is good things

You might be listening to the wrong people... (don't confuse discussions of crypto with discussions of the underlying tech - blockchain)

If you are looking for fun, that $200 might be better spent at the poker table... :

dice chips values are quite a bit more consistent

I’ll tell you what my financial advisor says.

Blockchain technology itself holds a lot of value but Bitcoin does not own Blockchain and has already seen its profit. (IE those who would make money on Bitcoin have already made it.)
