so, what id like to do is invest bitcoins to a stock or mutual fund account, but am not sure the best way to go about it. any tips/advice?
Investing bitcoin is risky I wont deny it but it is worth all the risk because it pays off more than you expected when it is done right.
Those who believe Bitcoin will succeed will firmly hold and wait for the price to go over $1000 again. For these believers there is not really a risk as they believe in its future. Buy now and enjoy later.
