It could crash and burn, but it can and still is making people very rich. People are afraid they've left it to late. Its still in its early stage so its worth buying some. I remember buying them for 1 - 3 in January 2012, 10 January this year and look at the price now. However don't invest in what you can't afford as it will always be a risk. However media interest is gaining all the time and a lot of merchants are now accepting it including some Subways and other stores. ATM'S have popped up and well known entrepreneur's like the Winklevoss twins and Richard Branson are excited about it. This makes BTC price fluctuate. Also China seem to be going mad on it and a lot of other countries appear to be following. I fore one am confident and see it as the next Apple, internet, email or whatever you want to compare it with. Fingers crossed. CaptainWhiteBeard
