Tarheel Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Does anyone know of an ETN, ETF, or other way to buy a small piece of the bitcoin mania? Can't afford a whole share. Anticipating your comments yes I know it's risky and probably a bubble but humor an old man who needs new gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the compelling reason to buy Iraqi currency? I could just open the window and throw hard cash out. From what I've read it's being redenominated not revaluated.

I recall a Texas member (not you) saying the same about Google in the "Google.....How High" thread years ago. It was at $600 at the time....now approaching twice that. Maybe Coytee has an idea on how to participate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJkizak Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 If you ever get into reading the rules on Bitcoin you will shake your head in disbelief. I watched an expert trying to explain it (blockchain) and it came out worse than trying to envision a triple entangled octopus. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max2 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 The wide fluctuation of Bitcoin as a currency kind of creates an Oxymoron to the definition of currency. Its actually more like a commodity at this point. You still have to convert it to get real money even if a few retailers will take it as credit. Who would buy any countries currency with the speculation and swing of Bitcoin? It is pure speculation and it has no intrinsic value other than the mining labor costs. But heck, it could go to a 100K from the frenzy in time, but with futures starting to be traded it should help with stability which is what it needs to establish itself as a true form of currency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitcoin transactions are too slow and are one of its heels. Amazon has peaked at 600 transactions per second during holiday times and its said that Bitcoin can only handle 7 transactions per second. That will leave the world waiting for hours to complete a direct Bitcoin transaction. They will figure out a work around though unless Quantum Computing aspects don't completely kill off what little security anyone has owning Bitcoin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, you already have your own Bubble. Be happy with that already paid for bubble that is safe and secure in your garage where its right there to reach out and actually touch at any time. Much safer and much more fun. As my Grandson says - vvroom vvroom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iraqi Dinar is about like using $100 bills to light your cigars! When I was over "in-theater" (2004-2007), I saw all these Soldiers buying Iraqi Dinar, when they could have invested in gold (it was at $432.00 an ounce when I got there) and made big-time bucks when it hit over 1700 bucks and ounce!
