But investing into bitcoin IS investing into something real. People invest in gold but have they ever seen the gold itself? Just certificates and online accounts. BTC is a network,,, and is highly secure and is as real as can be. I can use it every day, people use it to pay bills, to get things, to ensure no one else controls their money.
No it is not. It is transferring your investment to old investors and getting numerical signature next to your virtual address for that. Gold is commodity, a tangible good and has nothing to do with Bitcoin.
