I'm guessing that many people have put small ivestments in, not life savings. We're all heard stories about savings being lost in gambling rather than bitcoin. BTC is mostly knows for it's success stories rather than the horror one hehe...

If you put your savings in Bitcoin then gamble it away you lost your savings by gambling not because of Bitcoin; if you invested in Bitcoin at any time but two months in the last 3years you are at worst -25%

I'm 24, little debt, just a bit of student loans to take care of, and some savings but think its a god awful idea to invest everything into a single investment like this. Terrible idea. I have some invested, along with physical/cloud miners, along with long-term ETFs and stock as well.

I wouldn't invest all my life savings in bitcoin even if I believe in it, because all can happen with cryptos.

If young and employed and little life savings, I guess it makes sense. If any of those cinditions is untrue, I'd call it unwise to foolish.
Yes, risks exist in any speculation. Does a man has long enough time to wait for the recovery of big drop of Bitcoins ? If holding bitcoins by life savings, you need to have super confidence to the market.

If holding bitcoins by life savings, you need to have super confidence to the market. bitcoin is unpredictable and very risky, only experienced people can survive, because it is very difficult if not learn from experience and must think smart.

Quote from: picolo on July 27, 2014, 01:15:43 PM Putting every penny into any single thing is a daffy thing to do. I've put a big chunk in but don't have any dependents and would quite happily live in a cave anyway. Putting all your eggs in one basket violates every basic investment principle, but it is also the way to get really, really rich if your bet pays off. Key is to remember when you do this you really ARE making a bet.

Like the saying goes, "Never invest money you cannot afford to lose." If you need that money to eat, pay bills, or pay the mortgage, then don't put all your eggs in one basket. If you're single, don't have a family, are reasonably well off, then by all means go all in! Investing really is common sense. If you have disposable cash you were going to throw at something else, like a new set of golf clubs, a speed boat, fancy jewelry, or a new home entertainment center, sure by all means invest that into Bitcoin instead. If it pans out, great! If BTC tanks, hey you'll have to settle for cup o noodles instead of sushi for awhile.

Key is to remember when you do this you really ARE making a bet. You have to take into account your situation as previously stated : disposable income; expected revenues, age ect. You can make a bet on Bitcoin without betting anything to be able to bet on a few different horses

I had some money from presents of my grandma. About 8k euros. All invested in btc almost. Now I have half of them at current price. I did not need those money to live but I thought it could be the bet of my life... when I invested there were people saying bitcoin could go to 10k dollars or more. I trusted, I tried I lost.

Key is to remember when you do this you really ARE making a bet. Well the problem with this is that the chances are very slim that you are going to find one investment that will pay off really big like this, and the consequences are severe if it turns out that the gamble that you make does not pan out.

From the looks of it, this money was really never yours to begin with. (nor is anything that you have truly yours but that is not the point). The money you "invested" in bitcoin was something that was given to you in exchange for nothing therefor you risked nothing. It was basically a lottery ticket.
