Grace I think you would be better off purchasing Bitcoin at this point. The US Govt. will no doubt come out with some sort of regulations soon. When they announce the price will drop necessarily (unless they say we love it and there will be no new regs. ) . That will be a good opportunity to buy. The rest of the world will care not what the US Govt. does and the price will recover. Bitcoin the currency is a small part of the wave that is the Bitcoin protocol. The whole game is in the process of changing.
Sorry max, replied to the wrong post.
