Ummm, aren't all investments a form of gambling? I mean, sure it might be informed gambling, but come on man.

if "investing" in a beta stage, open-source project isn't gambling, then I don't know what it is...

maybe "donating" to the cause? I mean, at this point, all investors in bitcoin are essentially funding a start-up project, with the hopes that it succeeds and they will get paid off in the end.




If you have more money in bitcoin than you are comfortable with losing, then I think you need to re-evaluate your "investment" strategy.
