I took a chance back in May of 2014.. I paid $430 for one Bitcoin just to say I owned one. I never really thought of it as an investment.

Now they're trading at around $1290... Shoulda bought a bunch of them

I'm letting it ride. But it's still a crap shoot... Who knows what will happen if another exchange gets hacked?
