Question Anybody invested in Bitcoin?

Bought 5 when the price was only £45 each, sadly only have 1.5 left.

They are now worth in the region of £530 each.

I was so close to investing a couple of grand too.

No but I wish I did invest when they were like 2 dollars each. They were about £120 a couple of months ago when I was on sheepmarket.

Didn't know they accepted bitcoin payments for livestock.

Only reason I've heard of these is because I did a bit of Googling after the Silk Road site got took down. It sounded like they were the currency of choice for all things illegal on the dark web i.e. drugs, weapons, etc. I don't partake now and haven't for a long time but buying your dope online sounds cool and beats trying to find some dodgy bloke in a pub or hanging around in carparks

Thing with SR was the stuff was guaranteed to be decent quality* and rated by other buyers same as ebay and Amazon.

It didn't stay down very long either.

* So I heard anyway, would also not partake in the use of any illegal substances.

Sheep market is just the same. You leave feedback etc and all that stuff. A con man soon gets weeded out plus they have they're own forum as well. It's basically all the same people and vendors from sr.

Most USA users paid via bit coin

Would you use Paypal

Very clever people it seems

I was gonna buy a bunch of these the day silk Road shut down for something like 100 dollars each but then I realised how much of a pain in the are to get they are in the UK so didn't bother.

I checked yyesterday and they'd pipped 700 dollars each! Doesn't seem like it would have been such a pain now...
