Anyone selling Bitcoin as a safe store of value against inflation is a scammer, pure and simple.
Bitcoin is up something north of 6,000% in 2013, while Real lost 6% in 2013. Explain me what is the scam here?
It's not safe, but as with any investments it's risky. Maybe it'll pay off big in the future or maybe it wont.
Exactly, every investment carries some risk, BTC maybe more than others. You cant look at micro snippets of time and only consider that as your window. Overall in the long term BTC looks like it will rise. Major adoption is only just beginning.
Secondly no one in this thread told you to go buy BTC. I posted a press release about an exchange doing well in Brazil. Nowhere did I say that BTC is the greatest investment, nor am I trying to scam you. If you think BTC is a scam then why are you posting on here?
I think it is a good bet, and hopefully it will pay off as an investment. If we can even get just a little bit of mainstream adoption I'm sure the value of BTC will rise quite dramatically, but again nothing is certain.
