I´m sorry, but that statement is just plain wrong and missleading! Yes I do believe that the technology behind Bitcoin is sound. This however does not necessarily mean, that the current implementation will succeed.
Firefox was based on Netscape technology and is quite successful. How did that investment in Netscape work out for you?
Not trying to say that Bitcoin in it´s current form can´t succeed, but the statement you are making is not supported by past experience.
You misunderstood my point, and I agree with you 100%. See the first half of this comment - this is clearly a high risk investment.
Sorry again, whilst, as is clear from your reply, you do seem to understand the risks and probably have the experience in trading, your statement:
´and rest assured that if the concept is sound you're going make a killing in the long run (which probably won't even be that long).´
does not provide any consideration of the point I made above.
Whilst the risks I mentionend might be self-evident to you, I do believe it may mislead others on this forum who are less experienced than yourself.
