In 2009 a norwegian guy called "Kristoffer Koch" bought for 27$  "bitcoins" - a newly created online currency back then.
Some years after he realized he had 5000 bitcoins in an online wallet, and realized that they were now worth $886,000$!!!
So he had been pretty rich for a long time without knowing it.

I just had talk with my cousin... He told me he had bought for 2000$ bitcoins some weeks ago, and their value just keep rising.... He told me that bitcoins is the future, and it's a really really good investment to make.

I don't know much about this, and I'm very very tempted to research this, and perhaps invest $ in it

found a graph showing the current rising value

I bought a few recently. I think given the nature of them (that they are finite resource) that they will continue to go up in value.

I don't have any, but I've been watching the market for a bit.  (see what i did there?)    ;-)

Like any investment, they have their risks.

Alternative methods of storing wealth are going to become much more important as we get closer to the inevitable collapse of the US dollar.  (And many other fiat currencies).  At this stage I'm considering precious metals (physical - the kind you hold in your hand).  However bit coins are definitely on my radar.

The problem with bit coins is that governments do not like currencies they can't control and manipulate. There have already been some government attempts to regulate bit coins. See here:  http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2013/11/mtgox/

I think it couldn't hurt to have some, but I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket.  OP - let us know if you get some.

this is gold haha bad joke. but srs its so right on so many levels. the us gov is going to collapse at least in our lifetime. besides the gov has vested interests in its fiat currency. i highly doubt bitcoins will be the wave of the future at least here in the us but it wouldnt hurt to invest money in it

I was actually trying to start a business that involved bitcoins and was going around trying to get investors. Long story short the investors said no and thought my idea was stupid. Now they're kicking themselves in the ass and have told me how I was right and according to our calculations with the current price of bitcoins on the market we would have made around 30 million dollars in just a few months with an initial invest of 1 million dollars. Oh well, things come and go and there are always more opportunities.

But yeah there is BIGGG money being made from bitcoins and you best believe that these major banks and other big corporations are getting involved and getting as much as they can. It's only going to gain in popularity because people are waking up to see how central banking monetary policy is a load of shit, they trust the free market more than the federal reserve.

Yeah I had $90 worth at the beginning of the year. I decided to spend $88 of it, so I had $2 left.
Now just that $2 ended up turning into $30.

There's the worlds first bitcoin ATM somewhat near where I live. I'll probably get like a $100 worth just for fun.

If the ATM is easily done with a low enough rate, I could get some if anyone wants any. It can be a strenuous process by itself to buy bitcoins, and takes awhile to do (set up account,verify it,actually receive it) this would def make it easier.. but you'd have to trust that I wouldnt take your money and run!!
