TL;DR:
Yes, but only a little and treat it as long term speculative investment.

Well, a "little" for some guys on Wall Street could be a huge amount to some of us!  Grin

It's sad they have done such a disservice to their readers.  The article's mostly-good investing logic would have been just as applicable a year or two ago.  I guess there was just too much intellectual laziness and other mental fog floating around the WSJ for anyone to bother to look at what bitcoin really is.

 The readership is lucky, however, that the WSJ figured it out while the coins are still cheap.

Man o man, that was the WSJ!

2014 will surely be the year that all the Wall Street traders join this forum and flood us all out of here. Wink

The mainstream financial press won't be screaming "BUY BUY BUY" until their traps are set and ready to fleece the unwary. Once Bitcoin reaches the stage of "financial engineering", you'll see some rather scammy products oriented around Bitcoin valuation. The only benefit however, is that they can't arbitrarily dilute Bitcoin itself, only the paper they put on top of it.

I bet it is coming, and not just the Winklevoss effort or the existing Bitcoin investment funds.
