Nope they are not safe yet, you will loose money if you buy high. Now is not a good time to buy people.
Why not, maybe the price of bitcoin won't go lower in 2016 or ever.
Buying now just little amounts is good to do, only if you do a long term and holding it is a good idea.
Indeed, it's better to buy now, I don't think the price will drop again lower than $350.
If it does you're lucky to buy in then.
I really don't understand that why people talk nonsense in each of these threads???
Threads regarding price are there, we should talk about price therein...
@OP,
And about safety of bitcoins, yes they are safe, if you can keep them safe...
They ain't any virus, they are an electronic value that you will see in your wallet in numbers however much you will have...
How can you be sure that investing in bitcoins is safe? How? Are you a fortune teller? Can you see the future?
As far as I can tell, nothing you invest in is safe. You don't know what happens to the market in a year from now. You can only predict and speculate until that time comes.
there isn't something as a save investment. all investments have a certain risk. you can say that bitcoin has a low risk if you keep the potential growth in mind.
Bitcoin as in the protocol and teh technology behind it is the safest thing on earth, as proved in the last 7 years. Bitcoin has never been hacked, only people holding Bitcoin has been hacked (this includes badly ran exchanges). So the lesson is, make your Bitcoin's safe, and you will be safe.
Price wise, it's also safe to say that the only way is UP long term.
