Good for those who held them, but they’re braver than I am.

Screw thatis. ‘Worth’ according to who or what? Can a person physically hold a ‘bitcoin’ in their hand? Yes or no? Case closed.

Bitcoins are set up to be harder and harder to "mine". I believe that a huge percentage of the bitcoins that will ever be mined have already been mined.
And now they're only worth $20 billion which is a drop in the bucket of the amount of wealth generated worldwide every year.
How are they supposed to become any sort of replacement for currency, precious metals, etc.?

As of press time, one Bitcoin was worth $1,273 according to CoinDesk's Bitcoin Price Index, and an ounce of gold was worth $1,244, according to precious metals retailer APMEX. Twelve hundred and forty four bucks is worth an ounce of gold too. Plus, they feel better in my hand than a bitcoin does, and they're real handy when I'm out shopping or something.

Congratulations to everyone who made a profit.
Unfortunately, you have to value or convert your bitcoins into US Dollars before you can usefully spend or invest your profits!
By the way, has anyone figured out who stole 770,000 bitcoins ($980 million!) from the Tokyo and Hong Kong exchanges?

I woukdnt give you my Oz of gold for your 1 bitcoin - so is it really?

The U.S. Treasury calls bitcoin a "decentralized virtual currency."
That's all I need to know. A bitcoin is nothing. It's ones and zeros. It's not for nothing people worry it's a Ponzi scheme.

So, let me make sure I understand this correctly.
Now, absolutely nothing is worth more than an ounce of something (in this case gold).
I am confused.

Good time to sell. REALLY bad time to buy.

So if I had put $10k in bitcoin in 2013 I could sell them today for $650k. I hope some folks got rich doing this, wish I would have. I wanted to, but it seemed risky.

Bunch of nonsense. They are worth nothing.

So how do you store these bitcoins, and how do you spend them? Can I use bitcoins to buy a 6-pack at the local quicky-mart?
