I thought this was important enough to warrant a separate thread. NOTE - I do NOT own or mine any cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin beware

Coinbase has been just hammered with server traffic these last couple of days. The mainstream appeal of it is making it go nuts. I am sure Big Banks will be pumping the value soon enough causing more issues then selling off and watch the currency tank.

DUNNO.
Update - Just got an email today that had 4 links about Cryptocurrencies. It was from thehustle.co/daily and I just started receiving it a few days ago. I know nothing about the site's reliability so take what you might read with a grain or more of salt.

Word is that about a third of issued bitcoin is 'lost' in computers, or accounts where people have lost access or passwords to them. Just as @ericastar76 documented.
One problem with crypto-currencies is the lack of regulation in the markets, you see PLENTY of people doing the pump and dump scams in chat rooms.
Everyone knows the latest and greatest deals. pump the price up. Just like boiler room penny stock scams of the 80's and 90's.Before putting your toes in the hot water, be educated, I've done well, but had some guidance along the way. Been following for a year, a late adopter in the big scheme of things, but have done okay.

Let it pump on up. Remember I have 71 litecoin. I bought at 40ish. I had 100.3 litecoin and I tried to chase the bitcoin beast. So I cashed out 30 of my precious litecoin and tossed it into bitcoin. But then it went down and I panic sold. When it was all over I had basicly pissed 30 litecoin away. Right now those 30 litecoin are worth over 9000.00. Yea. I know. I'm sick. But we can't cry over spilt milk. So i am not touching my 71 litecoin.. which is worth over 20,000.00. So I still consider my first purchase of 100.3 as my cost.. that was close to 4800.00. So after I put my initial money back I would still be at $15,000.00 worth of profit. And im still all in.
But I still have the red ass for screwing away 30 litecoin.

Yep we can all laugh now - but to be brutally honest it was the best thing that could happen because I ended up with an absolute angel.
Hopefully someday your will get to meet my wife - AKA Mary Poppins -
I made a bitcoin investment early this year on my broker’s advice (the freakin guy is never wrong) and that investment is up 42% right now. Looks like I’ll be able to hit the road again this Spring - my bullshit soon coming to a town near you .... again
