Since it's been making the news recently just wondered if any of you guys here have had any experience with it.

I have about 0.3BTC in a wallet left over from when I got some Modafinil a while back.

1BTC hit $1000 dollars this week and some speculators think it could rise much higher. The Chinese and Russians are going nuts for this stuff. There are also other cryptocurrencies such as litecoin and feathercoin which are emerging and performing very well.

I think next year is going to be massive for Bitcoin and its ilk. Were on the cusp of another global meltdown and I believe people will turn to Bitcoin for currency as many fiat currencies will inevitably plunge downwards.

Question is whether to invest in Bitcoins now, speculating them to hit that rumoured $5-$10k mark or accept that that ship has sailed and look to invest in the other currencies such as litecoin?

Change is a coming boys. You mark my words!
