I Am A Bitcoin Investor

@Pseudonym too embarrassed to say.

@vacationgirl Ah. Well, the problem is that Bitcoin specifically has no technological advantage over other cryptocurrencies. The only pros are its market share, ease of trade, exposure through the media (although it's generally portrayed negatively), and a decent community of developers. It also has idealists and criminals backing it. The latter however, are moving away from it due to the increased traceability and transparency of the transactions.

Some 'experts' think the value could steadily rise over time, now that the market has stabilised somewhat. Given that the development team address the scalability problems it is facing (this issue is not specific to bitcoin).

There are many advantages to using cryptocurrencies over fiat. I suggest your husband do his research and [i]really[/i] understand the asset he has bought. Start by reading Satoshi Nakamoto's whitepaper. Then he might be able to make a more informed decision about whether to sell or hold onto them. Unless he already sold them during the crash... in which case, he's already learnt his lesson.

@Pseudonym wow you sound exactly like the jerk that talked my husband into buying it. that idiot knows better than to show up at my house. he tried a couple times. now he knows better.

@vacationgirl That jerk shouldn't have talked anyone into buying it. Please don't compare me to an idiot. First and foremost, you need to understand risk before doing anything with money. That guy may have said those things, but it isn't the same as saying 'buy it and you'll get rich'. That is retarded.

The first thing I say to people when asked if they should buy cryptocurrencies is 'I don't know'. I only tell them what I know about them, if they're willing to listen. Most people aren't willing because a full explanation takes a fair amount of time.

@Pseudonym 👀 Stay away from her house... 🤣
