There's a phone app named 'Coinbase' that I use, and it works great. No bugs or errors discovered yet. I read the terms and agreements through. Coinbase.com is the same, for pc's, or laptops, it's a 'wallet' you'll need for transactions. You're able to buy Etherium, Bitcoin, or Litecoin on there. With Bitcoin, you can buy other emerging crypto-currencies such as Ripple, or NEM. Those two are only worth like 30 cents each, but $4billion of it gets traded per day. With Bitcoin, Litecoin and Etherium you can buy products online and an increasing amount of retailers worldwide.

Haha pyramids are sick. And nope since only 21 billion bitcoin will ever exist. Unlike corrupt currencies that just print more money, and then print more money. Or issue money that does'nt exist. Such as the 2017 US dollar being worth 3 pennies, compared to in like 1917.

If I score some extra coinz then absolutely. You can set up a computer with like 10 graphics cards, to mine this encrypted part of the internet for coinZ$Z.

Sorry Kirk I was only japing. Truth be told a friend of mine bought in on BC when it was first public, and made plenty off of it.

I have a work buddy that has been buying gold bars for a couple years now. He started in 2015 when it was relatively low in price. Actually quite jealous of his stash now! He's made some nice money just over the couple of years and the price is currently no where near where it was say 5 years ago. So hopefully for him it continues to rise.

I wouldn't know about trading, well, anything. I don't know that my mate had a clue either, he was just always on the bleeding edge of tech and bought into it for the hell of it as opposed to a planned investment. Luck just happened to go his way.
Here in Australia the one market on everyone's mind seems to be real estate
