Ouch! Worst fear of any investor. It really pays to keep close attention to ANY form of investment.

Sounds interesting. Getting myself a copy, stat!

Bitcoin hasn’t even reached it full potential yet and it's a legit investment. Why the negative perception?

Perhaps offer it as an elective at least?  I’d sign up for it for sure. Bitcoin technology is already part of reality and the future. Might as well teach it in schools to help eradicate fears and create a more informed society.

CoinDesk and Cointelegraph are the most up to date, IMO.

Any kind of investment will have its own share of risks. Just be vigilant, continuously educate yourself about Bitcoin and keep offline records.

Lots of great tips here for beginners like me. My favorite --going old school when it comes to backup. Use pen and paper to write and store everything down! Offline records are just as important as your digital wallets.

Nothing wrong with making smart investments to aid in the retirement process. I’m game for an early retirement. Who isn't?

Bitcoin is a threat to banks. Bitcoin technology removes the need for any kind of traditional bank or regulator, correct?

I have only a few months experience with bitcoin but I’ll admit, it can be quite daunting to hold currency that some people consider as a fraud, while others say is the future. I believe the latter. Just wait. Blockchain technology alone will impact every major area of business. There is still so much to learn, but the revolution has begun.
