My daughter said she did not like it at $1k when I was going to buy it for my kids. It then fell to $200 with the Mt. Gox (?) fiasco and I did not buy.
i thought it would sell off for a couple of years from $3k, but it has continued to climb.
The idea is to mine and hold until you die so your kids can mark-to-market on date of your death. I am waiting for a US Gov. issuance which I'm thinking might be safer.
Silver went from 5 to 50 which is a 10X. I think 10X, in my experience, is about all you can expect. So, 10k here on BTC would do it for me if I had any......
We'll see.
