Re:Ask HN: So, Bitcoins - would you still buy them? by chrislas on Friday April 05, 2013 @02:21PM (#5500089)
As long as you have the funds to spare. Just don't invest anything you can't afford to loose.

That's what I do. I agree, it's very fascinating to watch a digital currency come into use.

I've bought two cell phones, and a video card using bitcoins. And I've hired a developer for a day with bitcoins. So I see some value besides just investing in them, which also was a bit more incentive.

Yeah, I wanted buy them and then just see what I can do with it. It just looks fun to have them and play with a digital currency.
