No, I’ve got all money in a Unobtanium mining stock.

Yeah, an invisible currency, that is fully independent of government. And government seems to tolerate it being free and unregulated and have no problem with this.

Sure, I believe that./s

I am no crypto currency expert, but I think Bitcoin might be a good store of value, if not investment, but it is not a “currency” until the taxation issues are addressed, Specifically the capital gains issue when there are such programs out there to ‘mix’ bitcoins to cloud the purchase date so as to make capital gains calculations impossible, but again, I am no expert.

One cannot help be impressed by Bitcoins performance lately, especially considering the Winklevos twin ETF denial Friday.

Re: “Are there any Freepers who trade or mine cryptocoins?”

Oh, yeah. Quite a few.

This is the first time I've heard of “Ethereum.”

I know about “smart contracts,” but I had no idea there were funded start up companies actively working on the application software.

Ethereum is a cool name, but I'm not sure I want my money denominated in a currency called “Ether.”

My money already disappears into thin air every month!

There is no question that “Block Chain” technology is very exciting.

But, the security issues are still huge.

I just read the Ethereum bio on Wiki.

After Ethereum had its online crowd sourced $150 million IPO (paid in bitcoins), someone hacked their software and “kidnapped” $50 million for a month!

Not quite ready for prime time.
