Bitcoin took a big drop last 2 months, but its going up almost daily.. So do we get into it? Or is the risk to darn high?

I'm leaving crypto currency alone for the time being. Around 2/3 months ago bitcoin dropped and my friend instantly dropped over 100k in minutes...back up now but that sort of fluctuation is not for me. Could be wrong but I think it may have been due to china messing with bitcoin...anyway...I'll stick to my guaranteed savings account for the time being.

@topffer I'm no expert...or even educated amateur, on the bitcoin mining. My friend suggested we get some of those things (no clue) than mine bitcoin and put them in the ceiling of our hotel and use their electric and wifi...I declined His uncle had mae thousands mining bit coin and I was tempted but the machines he told me about were a bit expensive.

Quitters never win. LOL I do not invest directly from my own pocket. I earned more than 3 BTC in 2015 thru blogging at bitLanders. But bitLanders stopped paying Bitcoin. We get paid via PayPal since February 2016. Now I am at steemit.com :) I earned equivalent to 100 USD for my first month and more than 500 USD on my second month. I am just doing what I do here in mylot. :)

It was at $13000 on 01/01, it is just now at $10702, so it is hard to tell that it is going up this year. I will wait April and the G20 to tell you if it is still worth investing, as many countries, including mine, want to regulate it.

I personally have only recently jumped into the crypto markets and have found that the free faucets and low-level GPU miners are working well for me. I am not making millions at the moment but I hope to soon enough. I need more referrals for the programs i'm involved with to truely make anything. But there are high hopes.

Wait and think before you invest; right now we cannot be in bitcoin alone.
