I couldn't disagree with you more about bitcoin. You have a "bankers" attitude about bitcoin thinking it's not real currency. I suggest you read The Internet of Money by Andreas Antonopoulos to get a real understanding of the technology. Ask Overstock how well accepting bitcoin has worked out for them. Many retailers have been accepting bitcoin and it's growing month by month. I've made many thousands of dollars in a company that mines and trades bitcoin and zero dollars in NTEK. Still I'm hopeful my investment in NTEK will work out and profits I've made in bitcoin allow me to buy cheaper shares and average down.
