I have zero real cash to speak of so I wouldnt be gambling any decent amount anyway. Will probably still give it a go. Even if it is only $100...

started with BTC back in 2011 (a little after it initially started), tried it as a gag as the technology interested me, invested ~$1500 in computer gear to mine some. Mined several hundred of them. Cashed out 100BTC when they were 100AUD/ea. (2012) = 10k, so 8.5k profit (excluding electricity, I haven't tracked that). I then played around with trading on MtGox, turned 50BTC into over 350BTC, withdrew to my offline waller and kept 50BTC to continue playing with. Then lost that when MtGox went bust/hacked/stolen (whatever actually happened). My holdings are now worth 24kea, so that's easily 8 digits. I've a nice retirement package. can't count chickens before they're hatched of course - it could all disappear tomorrow, but I've already made my initial investment back 550%. So I am in front.

got to be in it to win it.
trading shares or forex is a gamble too, yet people make plenty of money from it. some of course lose too.

My brother in law did exactly what you did. In 2011 he had a number of high power computers to do his video editing software and pirated movies. He got into mining them and he also got paid in BTC by some people for some work he did. He now holds 208 of them, a very tidy sum indeed.

I have been too busy at work to look into this properly. If I had done this late last month when I wanted to sort it I would be up around 200%

Yeah I have a feeling that I would be jumping on this band wagon too late now. Quite possibly it is on its high side now and it is all down hill from here. Nobody knows!

The only crypto I am investing in is https://ripple.com/ > This is for reasons of my own. Its a personal choice but one thing we can count on is that crypto currencies are here to stay. Most of the critics (hi profile critics, not the folk on this forum) see themselves becoming irrelevant over the next decade or so. Crypto are putting money control into the hands of "the people".... I might be proven completely wrong over time. But in the meantime I have turned 10K into 33K in a month. And its all legal.

So far just buy low and wait.... I see ripple as a 5 year investment. If ripple only performs 10% of what bitcoin has done my investment would be $7M.

And if this even looks like happening watch crypto currencies drop to zero while gold prices go through the roof.

Agreed, if there is any hint of war the whole thing will collapse. (IMO)
Everyone will go for gold, happens every time during war. But good luck to those investing and keep your eyes open and be prepared to cash out at the right time. My 2 Bitcoins. ![]()

![]() ![]() Soon to enter the "Blow Off" phase me thinks. So IMO only invest what you can afford to lose and if you have already invested and made big gains consider realizing 50% of that now.
