I should have invested in Bitcoin.

Reader says...

I should have invested in Bitcoin when my brother in law told me years ago.

Really regret.

I think you mean you should have "speculated" in Bitcoin. ;p

When we buy something with nothing more than the hope that we would make money from it (i.e. that its price would go up), we are speculating and not investing. :)

(Actually, the same goes for selling something. Think stock market. Think short sellers.)

It is like buying 4D, TOTO or Big Sweep.

Yup, if you have bought some Bitcoins, you would have won the lottery.

That is what it is.

A lottery.

I don't mind a bit of speculation but we have to know what we are doing.

We have to know that we are speculating and not investing.

I see even financial bloggers getting a bit mixed up sometimes.

Sometimes, we see a blend of investing and speculating going on which isn't anything wrong per se.

We just have to know what is going on.




Anyway, read this blog to have an idea what I am talking about:
Centurion Corporation to double in price!
