> Thoughts?

Bitcoins have been described as gambling rather than investing,
because the marketplace in general has yet to decide whether
they are acceptable as currency. As a result their value has been
swinging wildly

I've seen a few stories about them recently - the hacking of Sheep
Marketplace, Chinese banks declining them, a new Lamborghini
apparently bought with Btc (ISTR at the time when a Btc was
$1000, shortly after dipping to $700, poor car dealer), and others

There's almost a parallel between Btc and Continentals

because of uncoordinated acceptance
