Anybody buy them ?

No. Carbon footprint too big. I can't pick one up and bite it to make sure it's real.

Purchases like cars and real estate are using B-C. Tesla E. Musk bought $250million. No paper trail. Every transaction over $10K greenbacks (worthless paper) is monitored by Govt.

Wait until it gets bigger. Government will get there greedy hands on them.

they are pushing $60,000 today. Auto purchases and real estate are starting to use them. I buy a little here and there but really have not gone in big. Elon Musk of Tesla bought $250,000 BC.

Read your Bible jimbo.
At the end of times, there will be one worldwide religion (Muslim), one worldwide government (EU?, NATO?, UN?), one worldwide leader (Obama?, Putin?, Soros?, Xi?) and one worldwide monetary unit (bitcoin?, yen?)

Buying "bitcoin" is like buying gold and silver certificates. The seller sends you a "certificate" that says you own "X" gold/silver, but you can never see or feel the metal*.

* - and you can't take your certificate and claim any metal.

Never spend money on an "intangible".

EDIT:
jimbo, you can buy (mine?) all the bitcoin you wish. I want no truck with it.

Are bitcoin certificates hard to counterfeit?
Is there a bitcoin Secret Service?

[Bixxor]

I do. I also use this crypto wallet which allows me to do a lot of different operations, including transactions. You can check out the site if you're interested.

Lost 50% since January. Bitcoin has far outperformed most indexes as far as losing. Buy 10,000, wait a bit, and it's worth 5.
